Windows 10 comes with a number of built-in apps like Skype, Groove Music, Camera, App Connector, Microsoft Wallet, Xbox, and more. However, you may not need all of these apps, because you probably have better alternatives to these or you just don't want them to clog up your PC's RAM.
However, as these apps come pre-installed with Windows 10, you can't uninstall them directly. While uninstalling the pre-installed apps is not recommended as you may accidentally uninstall the Windows Store, there is still an advanced method through which you can uninstall the Windows 10 built-in apps you don't want. Let's find out more.
How to remove all apps built into Windows 10
Step 1: Click on windows at the desk and type Shell Power in the search box. Right-click on the result and click Run as administrator.
Step 2: A Shell Power window, run the following command and press Log in:
Get-AppxPackage
This command will display an extended list of all installed applications with detailed information about each application. But what you need here is the file PackageFullName (the full package name of the embedded application) of the application you want to remove. Therefore, go to the next step.
Step 3: Run the following command to get the file PackageFullName application you want to uninstall and press Log in.
Get-AppxPackage | Select Name, PackageFullName
This command will classify all built-in applications on Name and PackageFullName only, so it will be easy to read and understand.
Step 4: Now notice the file PackageFullName of the application you want to uninstall, run the following command and press Log in:
Get-AppxPackage PackageFullName | Remove-AppxPackage
Replace the PackageFullName with the current PackageFullName desired application as mentioned earlier in this step.
Step 5: You can also make use of wildcard, for example, the symbol - do the PackageFullName easy to write. So, for example, if you want to remove the Xbox
app, the command to uninstall it would look like this:
Get-AppxPackage *Xbox* | Remove-AppxPackage
Powershell Run command Add Packagefullname with Asterix Xbox Enter Remove application
Uninstalling the app will take a few seconds, so please be patient. If you notice any errors after the command completes, ignore them. You may need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
