Get Windows Store to forget my old applications

When I'm looking for an application to perform a certain task there is a lot of choice on the Windows Store.  It's a good thing, but you know not the good apps and the bad ones until you try all of them, find the one that works best for you and keep while ignoring others.  However, even if you uninstall the "bad guys" I keep getting undermined with notifications of updates to them in my app Store on my machine Windows 8.  When I go to the store I can list all the apps that I never installed at a certain point I the past, even if they are not installed now.  I don't really need or want to see them, let along be notified of updates to them.

How can I change my preferences app so that I can delete apps from my profile I want nothing to do with?  All I want in my profile are the apps that I use and you want, not the ones I don't want.

I hope someone can help!

'S done it on purpose in Windows8... have a list available of each application that you have installed with your Msft account is useful if for example you paid for an application and it is subsequently removed from the Store, in the "apps" section, you will be able to reinstall more removed from the applications list even if they are not in the store more

Thus a list of installed applications is stored so that if you logged onto a new PC of Win8 using your Microsoft account all your apps will automatically install (and your application settings carry on) most of the Sync data is stored in SkyDrive

Here is a page which allows you to remove the synchronization did not have data of your account of Msft (this clears Installed apps, settings app, wallpapers etc, things that you can take over by connecting to a new system of Win8)

I don't know if this will also erase your App ads as wel (I doubt it, I think that the Windows store data is stored elsewhere)

Also, keep in mind that Win8.1 is expected in about a month (17 Oct) and Windows store has been completely redesigned, I think I heard somewhere that you can remove listed apps (although I could be wrong here)

and finally

«However, even if you uninstall the 'Wicked' I keep getting undermined with notifications of updates to them in my app Store»

If you uninstall an unwanted app (not only away from the splash screen) you should not receive Notifications to update these applications... I never got such a notification, and I try a LOT of applications. You have all updates applied to your PC Windows? (Windows updates not the app updates). If you receive notifications for uninstalled apps is not a behavior normal but if you're talking about Bing, finance, Sports, travel news App... it is currently a problem the Bank of Windows that always will inform you of updates of these applications (even if you uninstalled)

  • I just installed a new drive faster. How can I get windows live mail from the old drive to the new drive

    Where are the files stored WindowsLiveMail?  Under what article directory.  I have "tons" of e-mail messages stored on the old disk and need to move them to the new drive faster.  How can I do?

    The location of the store folder, which contains all the messages, calendars and the account settings, is configurable by the user. The default location is
    C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

    If the installer of WLMail is a record storage in the default location, it normally acknowledge and take into use if. The only user that would be required should reinstate saved passwords. If this is to succeed, the old and new installations of WLMail normally must be exactly the same construction. The storage location must be in place in the default location on the new drive before installing WLMail. Also, the current user must be the owner of the record store to its new location.

    If the old drive is installed on the same computer as the new facility in WLMail, you can point the Import Wizard to import messages to the old folder of the store. They will find under storage folders into imported folders.

  • How can I get Windows 7 to play the old Readme.wri files?

    I have several old data drives that contain important documents, but they are in format Readme.WRI.  I checked the file associations in Windows 7, so that I can associate the file type with a program, but Readme.WRI is not on the list of file extensions.
    Is there a way to open these files in Windows 7?  Is there a low-cost program (shareware)? to download to be able to view these files?  Most of the research "Readme.WRI" I did take me to advertise for "scanning" products... not file readers.

  • Downloading applications not in the windows store

    How can I download apps that are not available in the app store windows?

    How do you mean exactly? Some applications are limited to the region... so if you do not see apps that are in store for others, but not available in your area, you will need to change your region in the desktop Panel in the region the app IS available in (don't forget to change your region will affect your ability to buy apps... but the installation of works of free apps very well for any region set)

    Go to the start screen, tap anywhere on the screen; Region

    for the left JAB of the settings tab, you will see the icon of the region... Open it and click on the location tab to change your settings for location of PC.

    Now if you mean desktop applications (these you can not install Windows store), you download and install office the same way as you did on Windows7

    Finally if an application is not available in the Windows store, you simply must wait until he is, contact the developer of the application you want to check their plans
