How can I remove inbuilt apps in Windows 10 device?
When you install Windows
10, there are a few games & apps come pre-installed along with the Windows
installation. For instance, you may find Microsoft Solitaire Collection, Bubble
Witch 3, and many more, getting installed. However, the term “free preinstalled
apps” comes with many restrictions, which doesn’t make Windows 10 entirely
free.
Microsoft lets you
install its new and fresh operating system at free of cost as long you’re
upgrading a PC already running a reliable copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8.x.
Additionally, the software giant is also letting computer manufacturers install
Windows 10 for free on passing devices, which also helps to decrease prices and
stay ambitious.
Uninstall
the inbuilt Apps & Games in Windows 10 using Settings
While you can always
choose to right-click on the Game or App icon in the Start Menu and tap
Uninstall, they can also be uninstalled via Settings. If you want to remove
preinstalled Apps & Games from your Windows 10 device, follow these steps:
§ Press
the Win + I button simultaneously to open Windows 10 Settings.
§ In
Settings, go to Apps and click Apps & features option.
§ On
your right-hand side, you will find all of the installed games and apps which
you got with the Windows 10 installation.
§ Select
an app and click the “Advanced” options button.
§ After
that, tap on the Uninstall button.
§ Tap
on the Uninstall button once more for confirmation.
§ That’s
all! Now, your selected app will be uninstalled right away.
Note: However,
this guide is effective for uninstalling the most applications, but you may not
be able to uninstall all of the preinstalled apps such as Camera, Calculator,
Mail and Calendar, Maps, and a few more. Thus, the apps like SketchBook,
Spotify, as well as any Microsoft Edge extension and more can be uninstalled by
using this method.
All the best! Thank you
