Microsoft tests new tool to remove OEM crapware


Recommended Posts

For Insiders, there's now an app to perform clean operating system installs.
Windows 10 already includes ways to clear out applications and data to repair misbehaving systems or prepare them to be sold, courtesy of the Refresh and Reset features added in Windows 8. Microsoft is now adding a third option: a new refresh tool.

Currently available only for Windows Insiders, the new tool fetches a copy of Windows online and performs a clean installation. The only option is whether or not you want to preserve your personal data. Any other software that's installed will be blown away, including the various applications and utilities that OEMs continue to bundle with their systems.

The tool is currently in preview and has some quirks; it installs a preview build from the fast track, but Microsoft notes that the new tool can sometimes install a version older than the one currently installed. When this kind of version mismatch occurs, the option to preserve your files is removed.

The new app was released alongside build 14367 for both desktop and mobile devices. As Microsoft approaches the release of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update and tries to nail down the last major bugs, preview users should expect a regular series of minor updates that clean up some of the remaining rough edges. Insiders are also being asked to perform certain "quests" to test specific parts of Windows and report their bugs. These range from "use Cortana's new wider language support" to "provision a device using the enterprise deployment tools."
