Hey guys. Basically, I hate all these useless things that Windows 10 adds (Cortana, search widget, Xbox, OneDrive, etc...) which the only thing that do for me is wasting RAM and HDD, so I went ahead and deleted them with PowerShell and a guide I found on the internet. The thing is, I need to update right now because an incomplete update - due to me not wanting the Windows Update service to do its thing when I specifically told it to be disabled all the time - broke a certain function that I tend to rely on quite frequently: opening applications through other applications, or through .vbs console scripts, which doesn't work anymore; I get errors saying "couldn't create the process" or "X is not a valid win32 application" that didn't happen before this incident.
So, this finally brings the question on the title: Will updating Windows restore all these useless things? Because I remember spending hours trying to get all of them off my computer, and I'd rather not do it again, but right now I'm like between the sword and the wall... I mean, it's not like I cannot open these applications the normal way, but it's obviously not as convenient.
I'm on Windows 10 Pro version 1511, compilation 10586.633, in case you need a bit more info.
I think this is all I need to know. Thanks in advance for any response!
