Getting rid of "Get Started"


The good old days! Looking back, I can see how youth is wasted on the young. What's the saying, if only I knew then, what I know now. ;-)

As always, deviant thoughts :nope:. Sorry, I think you got it wrong! I didn't mean it is good for your back. In my region, early morning is a good time for charging then jogging (of course, without any makeup) Ohhh :woozy:, Big Lord...!

BTW, If your back doesn't work anymore, I know a couple of sacred hands who can take care of it for you for free (also tax-free). At the same time, serves you Burgundy. Just send me your back's profile picture (also its size) then you'll get a package with unlimited options full of rounded UIs. But there is a difference between those and Win 11 rounded/curve corners! Unlike your monitor pixels, they are natural and touchable. They are also adjustable (I love this one, I love it :hug: ). They lubricant your back. I promise your back will work like a drill, and you'll smell younger again. Don't worry. You'll be a GT3 Twin Turbo again. Just go ahead as our package's tutorial says.

Can you decipher the list (SS below)?! I have to hire the ENIAC!
Just read the warning message first! For the same reason, I did not dare to touch anything for six months.

I don't love it, don't hate it, never used it, and was unaware of its existence before seeing this thread. Quite content to let it rest quietly there. I have long ago stopped worrying about the space taken up by all the apps and features that I do not use. Space is no longer the premium that it used to be, but I understand your motivation.
Exactly, its not doing any harm and is probably only a few MB at most. It doesn't run in the background either

That's not about MB or BG process, it's about redundancy! I don't like to have an extra icon in my App list. Most of my installed apps have a icon group in that list (after installation), but I remove even them! It should be neat and clean not messy!

Sometimes, when I connect to the internet, I see "Get Started" popping into the Task Manager. What's it doing? I don't want it updating or installing anything. Does it have anything to do with the MS Store? I don't have MS account.. Any way to prevent it from running? Maybe by disabling something in the Task Scheduler? Thanks.
