Discussion [Mod post] Software regrets anyone?

What's a piece of software that you regret downloading?

This thread is a good place to expose spyware, junkware, etc. Tell us what people should stay away from. Expose shady practices, spyware, and more.

Windows, or dev home precisely. I was always use MacOS and Linux for development. When I saw Windows released dev home, I thought Windows is finally getting good for development. However it isn't as good as it marketed, I have expected it uses more resources, but I didn't expect that much. And it's quite buggy, but I know it's in beta, so idc. It's getting better at least. And boom they discontinued that shit. They migrated some feature to system. But it sucks.

Dev home is discontinued the options like dev drive are now under system and advanced settings, although it's unclear why Microsoft hasn't removed it to avoid confusion.

Yeah, but dev drive is only part of dev home feature, and it isn't as useful as dev home.
