Uninstall Apps in Windows 10  

If you want to remove Cortana (the dedicated app in the MS Store), run this: Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.549981C3F5F10* | Remove-AppxPackage

Hmm, i tried like 20 commands for appx-package removal and nothing worked. Previously i used just command to delete all packages, but i don't want to do that. It may mess something, i don't even at this point. However deleting specific appx-packages always worked. But now i can't delete even apps like Alarms, Maps, Camera and what not... Even on admin account i have some apps i didn't have and i was on 1909. On standard account, i have hell of a lot more of apps. This plagues me... Any idea how to remove as many as possible without breaking anything ? And i want to keep calculator and photo viewer too.

I have fresh install and i have already some bug, that visual effect setting didn't save, or sound setting. I had to write to search adjust appearance and performance of Windows for it to save, maybe apps won't delete for same reason. Because, on my admin account they deleted!!!

I don't know, i tried pretty much every way there is to remove appx-packages. Nothing invasive. E.g:

Code:

Remove-AppxPackage -Package "package1_1.0.0.0_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe"

Gives this error: "Remove-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073D19, An error occurred because a user was logged off."

Than i tried:

Code:

Get-AppxPackage *3dbuilder* | Remove-AppxPackage

Or using package full name and specify user, nothing worked.

I use 1909

Thanks that would be great!

I literally post same thing:

Code:

Get-AppxPackage *3dbuilder* | Remove-AppxPackage

For example:

Code:

Get-AppxPackage *Arlarm* | Remove-AppxPackage

This runs successfully without error code, but application is still present...

This method i didn't try: To Remove All Apps except Store from Your (current) Account, it would be safe right ? Store shouldnt be removed anymore right ?

That command would remove all store apps other than the Microsoft Store app itself.

You may consider using the all users option instead if you don't mind the apps being removed for all users.

Damn it. I run this command: 5. To Remove All Apps except Store from All Current Accounts on PC:

Code:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | where-object {$_.name –notlike '*store*'} | Remove-AppxPackage

On admin, it seems everything was removed, while i have still all these apps on my standard account. I run that on admin account. I tried that on standard account too and they weren't removed.

@empleat,

Does running the remove all apps except Store for current user only command while signed in to the standard account remove them for it?

Nope that doesn't work either! My visual settings wouldn't apply, or sound settings, i think it is something with standard account. No idea what though.
