No, this isn’t 2013 when Candy Crush Saga was the biggest app going around in mobile gaming. Yes, it is the year when Microsoft decided to have Candy Crush Saga come pre-installed in Windows 10. I was never a massive Candy Crush player myself but I can appreciate the love some people had for the app. Microsoft likes the game so much that it has decided it will let it join the historic titles such as Minesweeper, Solitaire and Hearts, and come pre-installed in Windows by default. For some that’s brilliant, for others it’s unnecessary bloatware. If you would like to remove the Crandy Crush Saga game and give your Windows computer a slight performance boost, you can do that by following the guide below.

The following guides teaches you how to remove Candy Crush Saga from Windows 10. The guide should be followed by advanced Windows users only as it requires use of the Windows PowerShell.You must only perform the actions we say during the guide while you are using the PowerShell or else you risk creating problems on your computer.

HOW TO REMOVE CANDY CRUSH SAGA FROM WINDOWS 10
