Windows 10: Uninstall pre-installed apps

When you install the latest operating system from Microsoft on your computer, you get pre-installed apps with it. These are not always desirable and are difficult to remove from your computer. However, it is possible to delete most of the pre-installed apps from your system.

How to uninstall pre-installed apps in Windows 10

In Windows 10, there are numerous pre-installed apps that are not always desired on your computer. Uninstalling other apps is done through the settings. To do this, press the key combination "Windows" + "i" and go to "Apps" > "Apps and Features". After that, click on the app and select "Uninstall". This process does not work for pre-installed apps. However, you have other options.

1. For pre-installed apps that you can not uninstall via the previously explained way, the "Uninstall" button is grayed out.
2. Now a software such as CCleaner helps here. Download it and follow the instructions to install the tool.
3. Once the installation is complete, open the program.
4. Now go to the menu item "Tools" and then "Uninstall".
5. Now you will see a list of all apps that are on your computer.
6. Um eine App zu deinstallieren, klicken Sie auf diese und anschließend auf „Deinstallieren“.
7. Beachten Sie, dass einige Apps wichtig für die Funktion Ihres Betriebssystems sind und deshalb nicht gelöscht werden dürfen.
