Link to Windows Services I want to Uninstall it!!

[GaMinGiSsEmotional]

Why Samsung/Andriod Why Andriod is just becoming Windows With all the Bloatware and half of it can't even be removed/Uninstalled from device .

An app that I dont use at all has Unrestricted Battery Permission which i can't change!!. can't turn of notifications and can't even disable it and completely removed the option to Uninstall? .

 But wait You can so long as your Root your Device and wave all rights of your devices Warranty!!🤣 you Can ...... 💸💰 Money Money Money makes the world go round🤣😑😑 .

You shouldn't have to Root a device because you just want to remove a "Non essential" App that you dont use . Yes have it here by default since many may use it but to the users who dont use it should not be forced to have these "Non essential" apps . And then make them have Unrestricted Battery use . Can't turn off notifications . 

Keep getting prompted to "Link to Windows Services" And i can't TURN THE NOTIFICATIONS OFF. 

Then Get your hopes up and go to google play store and ohhh it says Uninstall . but its only Uninstalling the Update to the app. 

Yes this isn't just Samsung am aware of this but its Samsung that's Accepting Microsoft Money in order for these Microsoft apps to be permanently on your device Samsung device . Heck they couod of atleast said yeah thats no problem but are Samsung users get the option to Remove/Uninstall it from there device . But no they didnt . unless your Root the device many Non essentially apps are permanently on your Device is disgusting.

As a blunt answer- you cant

On battery it tells you how much battery it's actually using. Are you saying it's using a high % or are you just upset you can't uninstall it out of principle? Because it shouldn't be using any battery if it's not being actively used

In settings just search for it. And, turn it off.
You shouldn't yet notifications unless you've connected a device

Ps: it takes away the warrenty as rooting a device increases the risk of malfunctions. Warrenty covers things going wrong due to manufacturing faults, not if you're causing them

Annoying if you cant un-install it. Have to say though link to windows is one of my main apps - as I need to the notifications coming through to my laptop from my phone, and although it needed a work around on the s25u to get the notifications working properly - now its fixed it works perfect - better than the s23U. But can understand frustrations of those not wanting this installed and being unable to easily remove.

Appreciated the reply John and information you provided just been in chat with Samsung Live support and yeah get this.

So in order to turn off Link to Windows Services notifications.

You have to go to a PC sign in to your Microsoft account link the account and then go to settings on windows then notifications then turn it off.

I asked support right okay but What if someone didn't have a PC or didn't have a Microsoft account 🤔 .

That sounds like your forcing users to give away personal information aka making a Microsoft account on a pc to go to settings and turn of notifications. In order to stop getting the Link to Windows Services Notifications.

And if you dont make a Microsoft account and dont want to root your device. You will indefinitely keep getting the Link to Windows notifications.

One of there solutions was to permanently have the phone on "Do not Disurb Mode " which causes a whole other issue , what if you got important txt calls or (Gmail) not Hotmail course that you missed because the phones in constant " Do not disturb mode" in order to stop receiving the Link to Windows Notifications.

To me this Doesn't sound Legal at all.

Indeed very annoying ✌️ and yeah I get that to alot of users it can be very Handy indeed and many do use it often but not be able to disable it not turn off notifications unless you do as I said below in my other reply is not right sound illegal tbh. Is crazy but I found out it is because it is been Implemented into the Actual System Firmware now hence why cant remove it.

Does it really matter?

If you don't want to use it, don't use it.

[GaMinGiSsEmotional]

Piper it wouldn't matter that much and be much of an issue if could turn the Constant Link to Windows Services notifications off.

So in order to turn the notifications off . I would need to connect to a PC sign into my microsoft account go to settings then turn notifications off that way that's what you are told to do.

Now what if someone doesnt have access to a PC or have a Microsoft account in first place?.
Well now without rooting your device you are now stuck with Constant forever getting Link to Windows services notifications Forever. Indefinitely. That's seems alot like to be Forcing users to create a Microsoft account and give away personal information all just to turn off "Link to Windows Services" on my Andriod Device.
To me that doesnt Sound legal at all especially under UK and EU laws.

[Piper123]

So leave them switched on. What harm are they doing? It is part of the software operating system

Feels like you're complaining for the sake of it

[GaMinGiSsEmotional]

Piper am not complaining for sake of it though?.

Why should I have to put up with getting Constant Notifications for an app i do not use . And have no way at all of turning them off Unless I give away my personal details to Microsoft that isn't right is it ?

I've been a Samsung users for coming to almost 15 years and have Loved Samsung especially for they photography capabilities. But this isn't right .

I dont see how you cant see that .

A user literally has to give away there personal information by creating a Microsoft account just to turn off notifications.
How is that right or legal for that matter ?

[Piper123]

Turn notifications off for link to Windows in settings, notifications, app notification settings
