We’ve seen that last weekend Microsoft window 10 started installing office web apps automatically without any permission after force restarting everyone’s systems.
This caused a shout on the internet with several tech publications verifying it, and happily, Microsoft was fast to respond and has stopped the unsolicited install.
After this problem is to create, the company has said that it was a slight mistake and that they will now be pausing the journey of the web apps to your Start menu.
They also added that originally the plan was that any website you attached to the Start menu would launch in Microsoft Edge. They simply intended these shortcuts to be more visible tiles now.
This also turned Microsoft’s being Office Web alternatives into progressive web apps which the company is calling fault. This is something you can do from inside the Microsoft Edge browser, but it shouldn’t appear automatically.
Microsoft said that they have closed Office web apps into the Start menu since May 2019.
The company has currently discontinued this work due to the complaint, but it remains to be seen if anything will change as a result or if the company will proceed to promote its apps the same way.
