I ran Brink's reg file to disablre Recently added Apps and I ran the reg file to disable recommended. One app is sitting in the middle of an otherwise empty box titled Recommended - it is Winaero Tweaker. I even shut down and rebooted - it isn't going anywhere.....
Could this be related to my usingd Winaero Tweaker to Disable Web Search?
Any suggestions on how to get rid of this?
