Uninstall Apps in Windows 10

Normally the reliable way to create a bootable disk is simply to use the MS media creation tool to directly create a bootable flash drive, for example as per the tutorial here.

Have you tried the alternative command form @garlin suggested?

How are you launching Powershell?
Are you starting Powershell from the appropriate shortcut?
Winget --info
works for me.

I downloaded Windows 10 directly from Microsoft's site (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...d/windows10ISO). Then followed the on-screen instructions to create the bootable USB.

I don't see Garlin's alternative.

I'm opening the Start Menu, scrolling to & opening the Windows Powershell folder & selecting "Run as Administrator" on the Windows Powershell shortcut.

Unfortunately, Winget just isn't working on my comfuser.

Hello mate,

As a test, try using option 13 to uninstall these apps.

I'll give Option 13 a try tomorrow.

Replace with the actual package name.

Code:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers Microsoft.ZuneMusic_11.2309.6.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe | Remove-AppxPackage

Thanks for the code, but it didn't work for me.
Here are 3 examples of errors I received:

Unfortunately, Option 13 didn't work for me either.

Please confirm that's what you did. Thanks.

I downloaded Windows 10 directly from Microsoft's site (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10). Then followed the on-screen instructions to create a bootable USB.

1. I shut down the comfuser, turned it back on & went into the BIOS to set boot to the USB.

2. I deleted all partitions so I can install Windows onto Unallocated Space, then I created the initial Local Administrator account.

3. After Windows was finished installing, I went into Settings>Update & Security>clicked Check for updates & did that about 4 times to make sure I had everything available.
