Also, it’s not really a surprise that the productivity suite is top of this countdown right? After all we use a PC most often for the productivity.

#9. WinRaR
The good old giant of the compression world still rules the roost. Perhaps people are still habituated or many like that .rar format that WinRaR can natively compress and archive in.
#10. Daemon Tools

Windows Media Player may not be a first option of media playback, but after clean install when we want to play any file, this is the best and perhaps only player available.
#17. Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer is one of the best browser but it was not using by maximum people because of the competition given by other brands i.e. chrome, Firefox. But this software has its own use because some browser refuses to open some prickly websites. So in this way, it occupies the top position in this particular list.

#29. Teamviewer
Teamviewer software is used to log into our or anyone else’s PC from a different location. Effectively controlling remote system as if we are right there in front of it and was a great tool for trouble shooting or keeping track of what’s going on with our PC while on the move.
