You can’t get rid of it, you can only hide it: Microsoft imposes controversial Windows Backup on users

Like it or not, the Windows Backup app installed in Windows 10 and Windows 11 is here to stay, with Microsoft calling it a “system component” that can’t be removed.

Users who did not have the application installed began receiving it automatically on August 22, 2023. The Windows Backup app has become a must-have for all Windows 10 and Windows 11 users, even those who can’t actually use it.

You can’t get rid of it, you can only hide it: Microsoft imposes controversial Windows Backup on users

Because Windows Backup requires a Microsoft account, Azure Active Directory (AAD) and (Active Directory) AD users cannot use the application to back up their data.

Windows Backup saves specific files and folders, as well as settings, account information, and applications. All this information is stored in the cloud, so the device can be easily restored by connecting to the Internet. An additional problem is that using Windows Backup can quickly require you to upgrade to a more expensive Microsoft cloud storage plan.

In response to negative reviews, Microsoft stated that “because Windows Backup is a system component, it cannot be removed.” However, the company has promised to release an update to prevent the app from appearing in the interface, specifically on Windows 10 Pro, Education and Enterprise editions, as well as Windows 11 that use AAD and AD. Simply put, the application will continue to be present in the system, but will be hidden and no longer noticeable.

Windows 11s share on Steam has fallen but not for

Microsoft’s latest operating system is quite popular among gamers. However, according to recent statistics published by Valve on the digital distribution platform Steam, the popularity of Windows 11 is declining.

Windows 10 has recovered from falling below 56% in August 2023. Microsoft’s not-so-new operating system now holds nearly 57.97%, up 1.99 percentage points from the previous month.

At the same time, the share of Windows 11 fell from 39.22% in August to 37.43%. Windows 11 and 10 together account for more than 95% of all Steam users. However, the situation will soon change, as Valve plans to stop supporting OS versions released before Windows 10 in January 2024. This step will be taken due to the recent end of support for Chromium in Windows 7 and 8.

So, the full rating looks like this:

  • Windows 10 64-bit - 57.97%
  • Windows 11 - 37.43%
  • Windows 7 64-bit - 1.23%
  • Windows 8.1 64-bit - 0.18%
  • Windows 7 32-bit - 0.06%

The market shares of other operating systems on Steam are similar to Windows 7. 1.43% use macOS and 1.63% use Linux.

Apple promises to fix iPhone 15 Pro overheating problem and

Apple really intends to solve the overheating problem with the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. At the same time, Apple directly states that the titanium frame has nothing to do with overheating.

Apple promises to fix iPhone 15 Pro overheating problem and partially blames third-party apps

The company found several explanations for the overheating. First, the company says that increased heating may be observed in the first few days after the iPhone is first launched.

We’ve identified several conditions that may cause your iPhone to become hotter than expected. The device may become warm during the first few days after setup or restoration due to increased background activity. We’ve also discovered a bug in iOS 17 that is affecting some users and will be fixed in a software update

Secondly, the Cupertino giant blames third-party applications for overheating. In particular, Instagram, Uber and the game Asphalt 9: Legends.

Another problem is related to some recent updates of third-party applications that cause system overload. We are working with the developers of these applications on fixes that are in the process of being rolled out.

The situation will be corrected with the release of iOS 17.1, which is expected to be released at the end of October. If the tests do not show a decrease in performance, which may indicate that Apple has nevertheless reduced the frequencies of the A17 Pro SoC, then overheating is really caused by software problems.
