How To Uninstall Built-in Apps – Windows 10

Some of the Built-in Apps in Windows 10 are not useful and they can’t be easily deleted from the programs and features. I am going to show you how to easily uninstall Built-in apps using PowerShell.

1. Click on Start and type powershell once you see it on the result right click on it and select Run as administrator.

4. In PowerShell you need to type Remove-AppxPackage PackageFullName (replace PackageFullName with the one you have copied by using Ctrl+V from step 3) and press Enter.

NOTE: If you want to remove all the default apps at all users at once just type in Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage.

If you want to remove all the default apps and also all the apps installed from windows store at once type Get-AppxPackage -User | Remove-AppxPackage (replace User with your username)
