Unsure which apps can be removed safely, which ones better stay

I don't play games
Have separate tools to view/edit images and videos and for taking notes.
Use Outlook 2016
Don't use Skype

am thinking of removing the yellow marked apps.

Is there a chance of running into issues some time in future?
Probably not, but better safe than sorry.


stuff like:

App InstallerFeedback HubGet HelpMicrosoft Edge Microsoft CorporationMicrosoft OneDriveMicrosoft Store Microsoft Corporation

should better left untouched, I guess.

It seems hardly worth the effort just to save a MB ... in a TB world, eh?

Feel free to remove the yellow highlighted ones, but you will only save a little disk space. Background activity related to apps includes their updates (quite frequent) and possible data updates. Most of this can be disabled in Settings.

As always dalchina, thanks!

Frankly, it isn't a space matter. It is just that some 20+ apps are running in the background whereas I don't use them. It is more a matter of 'tuning'.

About disabling: I considered that, but one way or the other I am probably misunderstanding things: it seems that disabling doesn't mean an app won't launch(?)

Example: I disabled Groove Music, when double clicking on a .mp3 file, Groove Music is launched nonetheless.
Same goes for mail: when I click on an email address on a webpage, Mail and Calendar is launched instead of Outlook, altough Mail&Calendar has been turned off.
So I copy paste the email into Outlook.

That's background of considering to remove the apps entirely.

Take it it is a file association matter.
