Indeed, it seems that the game came with the latest Windows 10 update as many users said they never installed Candy Crush, and it wasn’t pre-installed either, but it immediately popped up on their computers after installing the latest updates. This is not an isolated case. There is a Reddit thread dedicated to this Candy Crush install debate that got thousands of upvotes, so obviously many Windows 10 users feel the same:
Windows 10 keeps installing Candy Crush
So, if a recent update is to blame for these Candy Crush installs, which one is it? Well, that’s hard to tell since not all users get to install the Patch Tuesday updates at the same time. Some of them even use various settings to temporarily block the updates, and this makes it even more difficult to identify the culprit. However, judging by this screenshot uploaded on Reddit, it seems that KB4093112 and KB4093119 are the updates that brought Candy Crush back from the dead.
As you can see, Candy Crush Soda Saga got installed on April, 11. Microsoft rolled out Windows 10 Fall Creators Update KB4093112 and Anniversary Update KB4093119 on April, 10 so this turns these updates into our main suspects. Unfortunately, there is no solution to permanently remove Candy Crush from your Windows 10 computer. We did compiled a list of workarounds in this guide but they may not work for all users. So, maybe the best solution is to simply remove Candy Crush from your computer and pray that the May Patch Tuesday updates won’t bring it back. RELATED STORIES TO CHECK OUT:
