No, I specifically looked to remove any crapware and was surprised that there wasn't anything. I also just did a search for candy crush and I only got the website.

Are you signing in with a domain account? I think the crapware is only made visible for local accounts and microsoft.com sign ins.

I'm on Pro and while Candy Crush was removed, I now have Farm Hero's Saga and something called "Groove Music". Netflix also somehow made its way there even though I've never once tried to watch it on this PC.

They are less brazen about it, I had to look in my Applications list.

I think Groove/Zune Music is Microsoft's music player.
