Windows 11 upgrade installed tiktok automatically

Once I upgraded windows 10 to 11, the tiktok is auto installed.

I don't want it to be installed silently.

Someone faced same issue. See https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/qglwre/my\_pc\_loaded\_up\_tik\_tok\_after\_installing\_windows/

Now I tried to install windows 11 again but cannot reproduce. Tiktok is not installed by default.

Anyone knows the reason? Microsoft changed the auto update server so tiktok is not pushed to client side silently?

    Hi landpage,

    I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

    The app does not come installed, it is just an ad to promote some apps.

    It will only be installed if you click to open it.

    You can right click it and select "Unpin from Start" to remove it, on "All apps" you will see that this app and other promoted apps are not present.
