windows, whinge 

I hate how many programs on windows just install their own services that run at launch, and you can't turn them off.

@lizardsquid Windows software has really been disregarding user consent more and more. :/

@lizardsquid Usually they can be turned off in Task Manager or Services.

@madewokherd I've disabled everything in the "startup apps" section, and there's still stuff that launches.

Adobe Acrobat Updater is always, Google Crash Reporter is always there, and several others.

@lizardsquid I don't actually have either of those installed so I can't check, are they in Services?

windows, whinge 

@madewokherd The adobe one is, the google one isn't (but related google things are)

windows, whinge 

@madewokherd thankyou for letting me know about Services, though, I didn't know I could use that to disable things

@lizardsquid Just be warned that if you disable built-in Windows things it can break things.
