    I just bought a new PC with Windows 10 loaded on it. It also has a lot of junk loaded at the factory. My needs are simple and my data plan has a small allowance (4GB per month). For most months this has been fine on my old Windows Vista system. I heard Windows 10 was a data intensive system and have seen it for myself on my new PC.
    I’m looking for ways of economizing my usage. In the “Windows 10 for dummies book” by Woody Leonhard. it is suggested to run http://www.pcdecrapifier.com to remove most of the junk.
    I have tried downloading the pcdecrapifier, the page that opens tells me “if the download doesn’t start automatically within a few seconds please use this link”. When I click this link a tab “pc-decrapifier-3.0.1.exe” opens. then I try to open this, a new page opens and it is blank.
    Is this the correct path to take to load pcdecrapifier, or am I missing something?
    Can anyone advise on the proper path for loading this program? I’m not real computer savvy and would appreciate any advice on &using the pcdecrapifier.

      Go to the website in your link.
      Click on “Download” at the top of the page.
      In the box for “Free” click on the “Download” button.
      A box will pop up with “pc-decrapifier-3.0.1.exe” at the top = click on “save file.
      Look in your Downloads folder to find the file.

      To install the program, double click on the file.

        I wen’t to my Downloads folder and double clicked on the file to open it. A User Account Control box opens asking “Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device? pc-decrapifier-3.0.1.EXE”  Yes or No.  I clicked Yes and a new window opens and is blank. This is the same process that I used before with the same result. If you can think of any thing that may cause this, please advise.
