I use iTunes on Windows 10. I agree with you that Microsoft doesn't update any Apple products, but Apple does. I've gotten several updates for iTunes over the last couple months for my iTunes program. I don't think you should tell people to uninstall it if they paid tens if not hundreds of dollars for content and all they have is a Windows computer.

The problem with removing iTunes is that a lot of people have iPhones and it's the only software that will sync your stuff back and forth without giving you a load of harrassment

If you are using iTunes, or any apple application on your computer please do not remove apple software update. It make sure your apple application is uptodate and without it you can be opened up to malware and exploits by bad actors. If you want you can remove it and find alternatives like Cider for Apple Music, 3u tools for managing your device, etc.

Love your work. But your comment about iTunes is incorrect. (A few have mentioned it already). If you are an iOS device user (iPhone, iPad, Ipod) it is a needed tool. Especially for media management on those devices. It is updated by Apple and available on the MS app store.

[Alkaris]

Apple still sends updates for their apps through their updater app for Windows, so removing it doesn't mean software can't be updated.

Great video Brian i was looking out for a video like this for awhile and BAM here it is keep up the good work chap, have a blessed day.

There will be a few edge cases where you may need some of the old software to run something. A good example is the Logitech Harmony remotes. The older ones only work with some of the original software, others will work with a more recent release of the software (Harmony 900 vs 300. I will grant you if you have a 300 you will want to swap that for a 900 soon, as they can end up no longer working due to issues with the eeprm in the remote).

The Java JRE is mainly a concern if you have the browser plugin installed. If you disable/remove Java in all your web browsers, it can't be triggered from the browser. Also the JDK includes the JRE files, so it's just as unsafe as the JRE.

Correction, there is in fact an Apple software that is run on Windows and is needed and that is for iCloud if you have Outlook and want to import your iCloud/Me email you have to have this in order for it to work.

Some mov file types can't be edited in video editors without without either QuickTime or QuickTime alternative on a system. You don't have to have the full program installed, just the bit that allows decoding and encoding. Installing VLC player does not help in this instance.

Valuable - maybe on any similar videos worth explaining more what these items used to be used for and how they've been rendered obsolete - you did that for flash but not java - thanks \m/

[SuperMax_____._____]

Java is where I got nightmares many years ago with all the virus, thanks for this video, glad you are doing more and more content !

[jakeaustin]

Thank 👍 you for taking time to convey this to everyone my friend. I've also passed this link along - 😎

You do NOT want to delete the C++ redistributables. Those could cause other programs not to work properly!!

[lisaann]
