If you want to uninstall a program on Windows 10, you go to Start Menu > Settings > Apps & features.

Incredibly, the default list of your many installed programs is Sorted by size (!) - not Sorted by name - making it IMPOSSIBLE to quickly locate a program you want to uninstall without re-sorting the list by name, which should *obviously* be the default.

Whoever approved Sort by size to be the default option instead of Sort by name should not work for Microsoft any more.


No trial, straight to execution! :D


If anyone ever finds a registry entry that controls this please post here.
No luck on the internet - only others discovering this and shaking their heads.
