Uninstall Apps in Windows 10

Brink · 25 Jul 2016

Hello Pax, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

Thank you for posting back with your findings.

If you like, you might see if using OPTION THREE to uninstall the apps for "new users" may work without having to do that.

I tried that, didn't work.
Nothing worked.
Wasted so much time on this.

Now I'm just waiting to see if August 2nd update installs all the apps back for all the users.

I decided to leave things too until 2nd August as I suspect all apps will come back at that update (even if deprovisioned) - start again then with a clean sheet. I suspect too what you mentioned in your previous post - if the logged in account does not have a particular app installed it may not be possible to use powershell to remove the app in other accounts. I agree with you too about the time - it would nearly have been simpler to log into each account and uninstall via the GUI . Problem here is that we are looking at 25+ cone tend to a domain ( but using Pro not Enterprise)

I just installed Version 1607 Build 14393.10

I wanted to remove the OneNote app as I'm using the OneNote 2016 Office app.
In an elevated PowerShell prompt I entered: Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.Office.OneNote_17* | Remove-AppxPackage

The app was successfully removed from the Start menu, but when I run: Get-AppxPackage -allusers | Select Name, PackageFullName
I get the following:
Microsoft.Office.OneNote Microsoft.Office.OneNote_17.7167.57761.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

So what am I missing here? Is the app uninstalled or just removed from the Start menu?
And if not uninstalled how can I completely uninstall it?

Hello Dimitri, :)

Try the two commands below in an elevated PowerShell to see if it may remove it for you.

Get-appxpackage -allusers *onenote* | Remove-AppxPackage

Code:

Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like "*onenote*"} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online

That was it Shawn. Thank you.

So, what I understand is that the first command:
Get-appxpackage -allusers *onenote* | Remove-AppxPackage
removes the app from all currently created accounts.

The app remains though for future accounts. Thus the second command:
Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like "*onenote*"} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
removes it completely.

Thanks again! Dimitri

That's correct Dimitri. You're most welcome. :)

Hello Brink

Perhaps you would like to update this tutorial in order to include some newly added Apps, like the App Installer and the Store Purchase App. As I have discovered in a recent issue of mine it might be compulsory to not uninstall the Store Purchase App, whereas for the App Installer I am not sure. Can you verify / clarify this?

Thank you! :)

Hello Joanne,

Which command did you use?

Sorry, I do not fully understand you. What do you mean? :)

In my previous post I've just suggested you to update this tutorial due to some newly added Apps. Do you happen to know if the Store Purchase App should be kept, like we should keep Store?
