    Following latest Windows 10 update I am now able to uninstall the Windows 10 Apps using CCleaner without any trouble! Uninstall Apps in Windows 10-windows-10-apps-uninstalled-via-ccleaner.jpg
    I got rid off a variety apps like the Windows 10 calculator and then I installed Windows 7 classic calculator. I uninstalled Mail, Groove Music, Get Help, Maps, etc.

    Previously it was impossible there would be error message. But now CCleaner managed to uninstall them after latest Windows 10 Update today.

    I'm getting no integrity violations in SFC /Scannow which is good to see!

    Thank you for this great tutorial. I removed the provisioned apps I dont need / dont like from my installation media. But somehow It is hard to find information about the other apps / system apps for example.

    Are there any recommendations which apps to "uninstall" ?

    I dont think aobut ScreenSketch, Calculator and so on... thats clear, personal preferences...

    What is with things like :
    Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin
    Microsoft.BioEnrollment
    Microsoft.MicrosoftEdgeDevToolsClient
    Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost
    Microsoft.Windows.PeopleExperienceHost
    Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost
    Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost

    is there any List about them ? Uninstall any of those, or better not.

    Im pretty sure one should keep all this .NET runtimes and so on...

    Perhaps someone has some experience with removing system apps and could share this experiences ?

    Thank you !

    Hello @Adu78, and welcome to Ten Forums.

    Usually if a system app doesn't have an "Uninstall" option available when you right click on it in the Start menu, it wouldn't be safe to try an manually force it to uninstall.

    @Adu78 It is perfectly safe to uninstall some apps like Get Help, Mail, Groove Music, People, Calculator, Maps etc. Just don't uninstall the Windows Store app!

    These apps don't have an uninstall button but that doesn't mean it is unsafe to uninstall them. I heard that in Windows 10 1903 update it will give you the option to uninstall these bloats this time. But on 1809 you have to use CCleaner or some other script to get rid off them.

    These apps can be manually downloaded and installed via the Windows Store so it is not dangerous to get rid of them. In fact in Windows 8.1 I had some of the same apps which allowed me to uninstall. But Windows 10 has implemented its own red tape where you have little control over what you can modify and delete.

    I tried to uninstall the Photos app in all accounts using the command below from an admin power shell but it only removed the Photos app from my main admin account.Any ideas why it didn't work as expected?

    Get-appxpackage -allusers *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Hello Steve,

    Odd. I'm not sure why it wouldn't remove it for all accounts like it should.
