Unable to uninstall, Microsoft LTSC version of Win10 update pre-installed "backup" application caused public anger

CTOnews.com October 17 news, Microsoft released LTSC version of Win10 system update in September/October this year, adding OneDrive-based pre-installed "Windows Backup" application, the application is designed for professional users, for ordinary users and not much use, and the application can not be uninstalled.

The LTSC version of Win10 is updated less frequently than the Home and Professional versions, but it is a good choice for users and enterprises who are looking for stability.

However, in the September/October update, Microsoft not only added the Windows Backup pre-installed app, but also improved the search box experience on the taskbar and introduced a Bing and web-based Windows Search interface.

Microsoft's adjustments have caused strong dissatisfaction among LTSC community users, with many enterprise users reporting that the feature is a non-installable cloud service feature and is not designed for non-professional Microsoft account users.

CTOnews.com learned from follow-up reports that Microsoft released a support document confirming that the Windows Backup app was pre-installed, but the official did not intend to delete the app, but indicated that the app was a system component and would hide the feature for users later.
