Batu69 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Users reveal missing apps after the update to Threshold 2 If you’ve already installed Windows 10 Threshold 2, the chances are that some of your desktop applications might be missing because it turns out that the update is actually removing a number of programs from computers. A reddit post points to some of the apps that might be lost after the update to Windows 10 Threshold 2, and these include CPU-Z, Speccy, Cisco VPN Client, and others, but the list could be bigger as these are believed to be programs that aren’t compatible with the new OS version. Basically, the installer automatically removes incompatible apps from your computer not only because they won’t work on Threshold 2 but also to prevent any issue from occurring during the setup process. When Windows 10 was officially released, Microsoft rolled it out in stages to Windows 7 and 8.1 computers, as software compatibility issues were resolved. Redmond focused specifically on such problems and worked together with software developers to address them, but also asked users to help by reporting any inconveniences they might find. No list of removed apps This effort is continued on Threshold 2, but users aren’t actually informed about the apps that are being removed during the process, so the only way to discover them is to actually look in the Settings screen to see which apps are still there. Threshold 2 also creates a Windows.old folder on the C: drive that groups all removed apps, so you can have a look in there too in case you suspect that the installer deleted one of the programs. Certainly, this is quite a helpful addition to the Windows 10 Threshold 2 feature lineup because it prevents compatibility issues from happening on your computer, but Microsoft clearly needs to improve it to provide users with more information on the apps getting removed. Playing the detective game on Threshold 2 isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, so let’s hope Microsoft sees this and fixes it in a future update.

shorty6100 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Yeah, CPU-Z was removed on mine as well. I just reinstalled it with no issues. The OS does seem to run smoother with no glitches thus far compared to 10240. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straycat19 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It removed all my forensic tools, my WPA2 hacking tools, all my WiFi collection software and all my VPNs. This was on a test machine since I don't run it on any of my production systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlston Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Nothing strange in that! In exchange for a free Windows 10, Microsoft now owns your disk, PC, bandwidth, and data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like the OS just stops all the shadiness if you buy a traditional license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
