[Guide] How to Remove All Built-in Apps in Windows 10

UPDATE: Tutorial updated to include instructions for removing some new apps such as App Connector, App Installer, Microsoft Wi-Fi, Paint 3D, Sticky Notes, etc.

In previous tutorial, we told you about different ways to uninstall modern apps in Windows 10 operating system:

[Tip] How to Uninstall Modern Apps in Windows 10

The methods given in above mentioned tutorial can't uninstall all built-in apps. There are many built-in apps such as Photos, Music, OneNote, Xbox, People, Camera, etc which come preinstalled with Windows 10 and you can't uninstall them.

But there is an advanced method which can be used to get rid of all or specific built-in apps in Windows 10. You can remove any desired bundled app in Windows 10 with the help of this method.

The method we are talking about, includes use of PowerShell program present in Windows 10. You can use some commands in PowerShell to remove all or some modern apps which came bundled with Windows 10.

We have divided this tutorial in following parts for your convenience:

PART 1: Remove a specific built-in app in Windows 10
PART 2: Remove all built-in apps in Windows 10
PART 3: Reinstall/restore all or a specific built-in app in Windows 10

Now lets start the tutorial:

STEP 1:

First of all we need to open PowerShell as Administrator to execute the required commands.

Open Start Menu and type powershell. It'll automatically start searching for the program and will show PowerShell in search results. Now press Ctrl+Shift+Enter keys together to launch PowerShell as Administrator. Alternatively, you can right-click on PowerShell and select "Run as Administrator" option.

PS: If you have replaced Command Prompt with PowerShell in WIN+X menu, you can directly launch it from there. [See this]

STEP 2:

Now you'll need to execute commands in PowerShell as mentioned in following steps:

PART 1: Remove a Specific Built-in App in Windows 10

You can take help of Get-AppxPackage and Remove-AppxPackage commands to uninstall/remove built-in apps in Windows 10.

Get-AppxPackage command can be used to get a list of all installed modern apps in your computer. Remove-AppxPackage command is used to remove an app from Windows 10 computer.

If you want to remove an app, these commands will require an essential information about that app i.e. PackageFullName (the full package name of the modern app).

So first we'll need to get the PackageFullName of our desired modern app which we want to remove from our computer.

1. Just run following command in PowerShell to get a list of all installed apps:

Get-AppxPackage

This command will output a long list of all installed apps containing lots of information about each app. But we only need the PackageFullName information of our desired app, so run following filtered command:

Get-AppxPackage | Select Name, PackageFullName

This command will show only the name of the app and its PackageFullName information. Now the output will be easy to read and understand.

2. Now select the PackageFullName information of your desired app and press Enter key to copy it to clipboard.

3. Now to remove the app from your computer, you'll need to run following command:

Get-AppxPackage PackageFullName | Remove-AppxPackage

In above mentioned command, replace PackageFullName with the copied information from step 2. You can also take help of wildcards (such as *) to make the PackageFullName parameter easy to type.

For example, if you want to remove 3DBuilder app, the command to remove it will be as following:

Get-AppxPackage *3dbuilder* | Remove-AppxPackage

OR

Get-AppxPackage *3d* | Remove-AppxPackage

It'll take a few moments in uninstalling the app. If you see any error after completion of the command, ignore it. You may need to restart the computer.

NOTE:

The above mentioned command "Get-AppxPackage PackageFullName | Remove-AppxPackage" uninstalls the app from your current user account only. If you want to uninstall the app from all user accounts, you can use following command format:

Get-AppxPackage -allusers PackageFullName | Remove-AppxPackage

And if you want to remove the app from any particular user account, use following command:

Get-AppxPackage -user username PackageFullName | Remove-AppxPackage

Replace username term in above mentioned command with the correct user account name.

PS:

For your convenience, we are providing ready-made commands to remove built-in apps in Windows 10. Just copy the desired command and paste it in PowerShell window using Ctrl+V hotkey and press Enter:

PART 2: Remove All Built-in Apps in Windows 10

If you want, you can uninstall all built-in modern apps in a single step using following command:

Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage

The above mentioned command will uninstall the apps from your current user account only.

Command to uninstall all built-in apps for all user accounts:

Get-AppxPackage -allusers | Remove-AppxPackage

Command to uninstall all built-in apps for a particular user account:

Get-AppxPackage -user username | Remove-AppxPackage

NOTE: If you want to remove all apps but want to keep a few apps such as Windows Store, etc, you can use following command:

Get-AppxPackage | where-object {$_.name –notlike "*store*"} | Remove-AppxPackage

If you want to keep more than one apps, you can use following syntax:

Get-AppxPackage | where-object {$_.name –notlike "*store*"} | where-object {$_.name –notlike "*communicationsapps*"} | where-object {$_.name –notlike "*people*"} | Remove-AppxPackage

So you just need to use where-object {$_.name –notlike "*package_name*"} parameter in the command to keep a particular app.

In Win7 I had reinstated the Vista Windows Mail, which resembles so much the good old Outlook Express of the Win XP era.
Even if I shunned the Win8 edition, I know that the same could be done, with small differences.
Now, in Win10, I've tried to repeat the trick, with no success.
Could you find a way to reinstate Vista Windows Mail in Win10?
Thanks in advance.

@Slamet, If you remove Cortana, then you lose the search feature in start menu.
But if you insist:

Question: What's the benefit behind deleting built-in apps that do not have the uninstall option readily available? Would removing them actually clear enough space worth the process or help the device run better, i don't think they occupy that much space to begin with?

I'm asking because I just got a new laptop with win10 on it and will definitely not be using most of the built-in apps. The OCD freak in me loves having all things clear and minimal so I would personally prefer not having any useless software on my device, but since I am not tech-savvy I worry about the consequences of tinkering with it... Could removing some of them (App connector, sway, Xbox... for example) potentially cause any complications?
VG

^^ Some modern/metro apps continuously run in background and consume system resources. Also uninstalling modern apps will disable them from default programs list and Windows will not waste your Internet bandwidth in updating those apps. If you are not going to use these apps, uninstalling them would be a wise choice.
Nat

Convinced! Thanks VG, will be using your tutorial to clear them up! Happy 2016!
Frank

Tried that but for each package that showed in the result command it result as Package was not found...
Michael

Now will these commands actually uninstall the applications or just hide them? I am prepping for a firm wide roll-out of Win 10 and there are certain apps we do not need installed or want the users to reinstall, such as Xbox, Mail, Store, Calendar, Movies, TV, etc. I have done what you list in step 1, but since we are on a domain the apps come back as that process just hides the applications. Is there no procedure that will actually uninstall them?
Shane

Unfortunately, after removing all your apps, microsoft are likely to reinstall them again. I've just had amazon, skype, xbox and a bunch of others reinstalled as part of Ms updates.

Keep the script handy you are likely to need it again.

Also running scripts in powershell is likely to be banned by execution priveleges. If you get a warning you can execute these commands type the following into powershell before running the above commands.

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass

This removes all execution restrictions.
To reset them to default, after running the script run

Set-ExecutionPolicy remote

Hi VG, got a question, I ran the following:
Get-AppxPackage -allusers *officehub* | Remove-AppxPackage
It removed it for the current user but new user got it back. Ideas?

It would be cool to run some Batch file and just remove annoying apps.

Thanks for the guide, unfortunately I am facing the same trouble as Michael from a few comments above.

I am designing a Windows 10 SoE image for a large scale deployment and I am required to have most of these apps removed.

I've run the powershell commands as an administrator and with the -allusers command while the system is in Audit mode, but after the machine has been sysprepped these apps all reappear :(

Now scratching my head on how to get rid of these.

Can I use this method to uninstall Microsoft Edge? I did try it with the exact syntax you have mentioned here with all additions that were needed, but, nothing happened after I clicked on enter. It did not in fact run a script at all. Is that how it works? I can still open edge and it is actually a very big nuisance. Mainly, when it keeps opening up when I search anything through cortana.
I realize this is unrelated to the above issue but I wish to know also whether edge is a part of Office or not, because I have had Windows 10 for almost 6 months now but have not even had to use edge until now! I have been happily (quite ignorantly, I might add) using chrome as my default browser for any and every application, especially with cortana! (I had subverted cortana to use chrome with chrometana)

I would quite desperately try to know of a solution to this issue!

I used these powershells under the admin account for -allusers, restart and admin acct is great, go to others accts and items are either still there or get reinstalled...grrr. I run powershell while under the user profile as admin and either get package not found or it looks good, but the app never goes away
Any ideas why or how to permanently delete them from others accounts?

Eventids 214 and 10 continue to be logged, in spite of my many attempts to disable, remove, etc. Windows Store Apps. It appears that you must have a very good handle on this area of Windows 10, but I'm confused why the App Readiness service seems to ignore my efforts and continues to attempt to install and register the Windows Apps - resulting in the 214 and 10 eventids. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

This helped me. It is really annoying that every time I uninstall those apps, they get installed again after restart. Now that I deleted the Windows Store, hopefully, they won't go back.

The info on this webpage is partially wrong.

The command "Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers" does shows apps of all users.
But Remove-AppxPackage always only removes it from the current user.

THANK YOU for publishing all of the tips!

Microsoft decided to run push a software update the re-installed of the CR*P APPS that I had deleted.

Your page provided a very clean, detailed set of instructions that helped me take back my computer!

BTW -- I also used the anti-beacon tool by Spybot to shut off all telemetry going to Microsoft. Spybot also shuts down Microsoft's ability to turn your computer into a zombie machine/P2P device to push their crap to other computers.

Many thanks again!

Hi,

I use the following script to uninstall the apps for both existing users and new users. But no matter what I try, every time I end up with a broken start menu.

I tried uninstalling each app separately, in different sequences, etc. Always the same result: broken start menu. Uninstalled apps are still showing, you just can no longer open them or do anything with them for that matter.
Also it isn't just one app that causes this. One time it can be the feedbackhub, the next time the BingWeather. It is incredibly frustrating that it seems impossible to remove bloatware without breaking your system.

^^ Some system apps can't be removed using the command. That's what the error message is telling.
Phil

oh ok thank you VG

yo, just telling that removing all apps with one command line did broke my start menu (searching ability). but that happened only after creators update, all worked fine without windows apps before that update. fixed by restoring all apps with this command that i found somewhere by searching how to fix start menu..

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

anyone can figure out what exactly/which app you must not uninstall when uninstalling them all. thanks :)

This is a great post, as many have already commented. I follow all the powershell stuff - but when I look at the list of applications, there are some I can't figure out whether to uninstall them or leave them. CandyCrushSaga is easy enough to understand, but I end up wondering what thinks like windows.immersivecontrolpanel is used for and whether I should keep it or blow it away. And particularly so since the last update...I mean, what is c5e2524a-ea46-4f67-841f-6a9465d9d515? They don't name that one anything that gives even a clue.

Does anybody know of a site that lists the what the apps do to help sort out what to keep and not?
VG

^^ Some are system apps which can't be removed using PowerShell command as they are required by the operating system to function properly. "windows.immersivecontrolpanel" is one of them which is actually the Settings app.

Hey, I used these scripts to remove a bunch of built in apps, and it seems to have worked, ie clicking on the shortcut to edge can't launch it, but all the shortcuts are still there in the start menu's 'all programs' list, which is the main place I wanted them gone. Any advice?

Sounds like you've got online provision apps - these are really bloatware. A clean install of Windows should have none of those applications installed.

Try this from an elevated PowerShell. It will uninstall online provisioned apps.

Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online

In response to chris, who was suggesting using CCleaner, I tested this and found that:

1- CCleaner doesn't list all the apps for all users; only for the current user (and I don't believe that is even a full list).
2 - Removing the app through CCleaner only removes it for the current user.

Just wanted to give a heads-up.

Hi VG,
Followed your instructions and it all worked well. Unfortunately MS discovered a few missing programs and reinstalled them... yeah!!!!
Is there anyway of completely stopping Cortana and it's horrible siblings from reinfesting my PC?
When discovering the new .exe files for Cortana and co, I tried to remove the previous BAK_.exe files but couldn't any thoughts?
Thanks
VG

^^ After removing all apps, rename "WindowsApps" folder in "C:\Program Files\" and remove particular app folder from "%userprofile%\appdata\local\Packages".

Thank you for your answers in advance.
Guido

Thank you.

I wanted to remove the stupid "photos" program as for some reason M$ updated it so you couldn't set up other programs as default for file extensions such as .gif
John

I can successfully remove apps from current user but cannot get -allusers to work. -allusers shows "greyed out" (different color than rest of command) when I have typed in the command.
I run powershell as administrator
I have tried using wild card (*xbox*) and tried using full app name

Dear Sir

Thanks for sharing. Very helpful. Appreciated.

You might want to check out some programs like NT Lite and Win Reducer for a more Automatic approach but even then some detailed info on its components would be good.

Another thing I gave wanted to be able to do was access the UI Framework and also edit some operating procedures like game modding but in Windows.

I havent looked into it enough. Not as interesting as game modding.
Thanks for your patience in compiling this stuff.

removing for all users do not work like that. you are removing allways just for current user. you have to remove with -AllUsers if you get list of packages with -AllUsers.
tero

and there is also a little problem because allusers cant be used in pipe, so the real right answer for deleting all apps (which can be deleted) by a command line is this:

Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Remove-AppxPackage -allusers -package $_}
tero

and after that, you surely can't add packages pack with that your add all back line because no user has those packages, so you can't list get-packages which to add. you have to list those packages in manifest, and add them all to all users by somehow.. not sure yet how to do that..

Only my notebook from this IP seems rerouted with 1-2+ seconds delays over Russia. I change MAC and computer name, so guess they decrypt windows microsoft communications to ID me.

What more can I do than deactivating windows apps? I need to block all microsoft communications. How to do that smoothly instead of using PeerBlock?
