Recent Windows 10 Update removes apps without user's consent

Besides changing privacy settings, the recently released large Windows 10 update has also removed applications without the user's consent. Amongst others the affected applications are CPUID, CPU-Z and Speccy, all software that can be used to view information about the system's hardware.

Also the AMD Catalyst Control Center, that can be used to control AMD video cards is removed with the November/Fall Update.  Although Windows 10 doesn't ask for permission to remove the applications, it does show which software is removed.

While this is allegedly because the software is not supported, users report that when they reinstalled the affected applications, they work without any issues on Windows 10.
