How to Remove Built-in Apps in Windows 10

How to Remove Built-in Apps in Windows 10

PowerShell

First of all what is PowerShell? 

PowerShell is just an advanced version of command prompt. By using PowerShell, you can remove any store app you want to remove, even if it’s built-in app such as Music or Photos.

§     First you need to open PowerShell with Administrator right. Do this by typing “PowerShell” into the search bar on Taskbar, right click the result PowerShell and select “Run as Administrator”

§     In PowerShell, run the command below. This command searches for the app package whose name contains the word you specify in app_name (e.g. run Get-AppxPackage *maps* to find the package(s) for any app that has the word “maps” in its name). You want to do this to get the full package name so you won’t accidentally delete other apps when there is more than one app that has the name you’re looking for.

Get-AppxPackage *app_name*

PowerShell Get-AppxPackage

§     Once you run the command, what you need to look for is “PackageFullName” line. Copy the full line by       clicking the beginning of the name and drag your mouse to the end of the line. The line looks like this: 

      Microsoft.WindowsMaps_4.1601.10150.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

            After copying PackageFullName type clear in powershell and press enter.

      Then type Remove-AppxPackage PackageFullName 

      Remove-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsMaps_4.1601.10150.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

And that’s all…!!!
