I did NOT give Winblows permission to install this new bloatware. I have been able to uninstall all of the other bloatware with no problems, but this one has me stumped. It is very easy to 'hide' it, but I want it off of my computer.

Meet Now is a microsoft application used with Skype to do zoom like meetings. So it is probably under microsoft programs.

What is Meet Now and how do I use it in Skype?

You can’t uninstall it. You can only hide it:

I noticed the same thing this morning and my searches came up about like yours did. No way to uninstall it and I don't have Skype installed (that I can find).

PC internet has been bad the last several days and I cannot find out why but figure it must be something MS involved since tablets are all getting good 5g connections.

Well I can’t help. Been running Ubuntu for 10+ years. No bloat, nothing forced, rarely a restart after an update and even then the restart is 30 seconds or so. None of this 5-60 minutes crap.

Hmm...I have Win 10 Home and am up to date but it’s not on my computer. Are you perhaps running a Win 10 Pro version?

Also in Microsoft Support it seems to be associated with Office. I don’t have Office installed either.

Switching to Linux will get rid of it completely.

I just read about it, and is seems to me to be a good thing to keep. It sets up instant, log-in free video conferences with anyone you want. It certainly beats running a Zoom meeting through China.

The first rule of using Windows is, never use Windows.
