Users reveal missing apps after the update to Threshold 2

If you’ve already installed Windows 10 Threshold 2, the chances are that some of your desktop applications might be missing because it turns out that the update is actually removing a number of programs from computers.

A reddit post points to some of the apps that might be lost after the update to Windows 10 Threshold 2, and these include CPU-Z, Speccy, Cisco VPN Client, and others, but the list could be bigger as these are believed to be programs that aren’t compatible with the new OS version.
Basically, the installer automatically removes incompatible apps from your computer not only because they won’t work on Threshold 2 but also to prevent any issue from occurring during the setup process.

When Windows 10 was officially released, Microsoft rolled it out in stages to Windows 7 and 8.1 computers, as software compatibility issues were resolved. Redmond focused specifically on such problems and worked together with software developers to address them, but also asked users to help by reporting any inconveniences they might find.
