But something was wrong in the order because they asked for the Windows 10 Signature Edition, but they got the normal Windows 10 Pro edition.īut first, what is a Windows 10 Signature Edition?Ī typical boxed computer purchased from a retailer includes crapware, spyware, toolbars, antivirus programs, games, and other undesirable programs that assume a large amount of space on your hard drive. But we ran into this (and I've been ranting about how people got into the process of not doing a clean install - dealing with that separately) just now because someone had a machine that didn't get installed and, of course, terrible bloatware problems.In the past year, I worked at a customer, who ordered around 4000 HP laptops to distribute it to their end-users. I never run into it because I would never run a machine without doing a proper OS install, you never know what is on there.

None of my Dell Devices has ever come with this. You'll need to disable, or better remove, or best do a proper, clean OS install, to get your machine able to network reliably. SmartByte has been found by Cisco (and us, now that we know about it with clients) to break network connections and specifically has been found to cause VPNs to fail to connect. But if you keep the random stuff that ships with your machine, you may run into networking problems. If you are doing a clean OS install as is best practice, this bloatware will be unknown to you. SmartByte, a bit of bloatware or possibly malware - certainly closer to malware than not, is shipping by default on some Dell laptops and desktops.
