I think Microsoft has tried to address this with 8/10, which have a "refresh" feature, which tries to clean out everything besides Modern apps and your personal data.



Glad they are addressing a fundamental flaw in windows albeit not in the root cause (the need for a "refresh").


I think it's gotten better over time, but non-technical users have an incredible willingness to push buttons they shouldn't. Unfortunately, your options are to either cripple your product's functionality (Chromebook) or accept that users have the power to do things that they shouldn't. I vastly prefer the latter, and I think the latter is better for consumers, in fact, as well. But to each their own.
