These seem very, very, very useless to me and i want them off my pc because they cause an annoyance to me
>inb4 op, cortana and edge are superior, op, why do you want to uninstall them?
please just tell me how to locate these programs in my registry to get them the hell off my pc. Thanks! :)
That unfortunately wont get rid of edge or Cortana, they seem to be protected.
Funny enough though you can use this method to uninstall the windows store, you would think that would want to be protected too :P
No like, no use, simple thing. Some parts are deeply integrated in windows, IE for instance, can't get rid of them completely, never ever. Whole of EU tried to get MS to take IE out and all they succeeded is to make MS remove it as default browser and make easier installing and using third party browsers as default browser.

Hi bobjoe,
Your link does not have a way to reinstall Microsoft apps.
First I want to give EVERYONE my FREE ADVICE.
Hopefully you will create a restore point before starting and have already created a Windows 10 Rescue Disc and Recovery USB flash drive. You need these things before attempting any changes to your computer.
Remove Default Apps from Windows 10

Reinstall Default Built-in Apps in Windows 10

Do you know that you can not use F8 to boot in Windows 10? That is why the Rescue Disc and Recovery USB flash drive for Windows 10 are VITAL.

Those "programs" you refer to are integrated in OS and are part of whole system, removing them would brake other parts. An example is IE that was part of the system ever since first version. Windows File Explorer, search and other functions are within same engine and none of that would work. You can't just remove part of OS and expect it to work.
