Microsoft starts bundling Windows 11 with its 'PC optimizer' app in some regions
neowin.net
PC optimizers are not a new concept, and they have been around for quite a while. Nowadays, many consider them unnecessary, but having an official program made by Microsoft that is capable of (allegedly) speeding up your PC may sound quite appealing.
However, Microsoft's PC Manager has already raised quite a few eyebrows when customers caught it recommending some questionable optimizing techniques, injecting affiliate links, and shamelessly claiming your PC needs repair if Bing is not set as the default search engine. Yikes.

So does it disable telemetry, remove Edge, remove all the crap from the start menu, and stop presenting Web results in start menu search?
But not theirs, only others where they don't get paid for it.
To remove all the crap from your OS, first install the crap, then install more crap to remove the crap that you installed. Except it doesn't actually remove it, it just becomes part of the crap mass that users never wanted in the first place.
