Hi,
We have 2 clients using Dell xps's with Windows 8, both notebooks have had almost all the bloated dell applications removed. I say almost all as the Dell update service is still present on the notebooks. After an unknown period of time(approx. 14-20 days) the notebook will run the new user experience again during power up. After going through the long and drawn out new user setup again the user is back to there original desktop. They have also informed us that powering off the notebook during this phase will sometimes allow them to logon as normal.
Any ideas?
