How to Add "Uninstall or Change a Program" Context Menu in Windows 10

   Information

If you no longer want or use an app, then you could uninstall the app to remove it and free up space on the drive.

When you uninstall a desktop app (program), it will uninstall it for all users on the PC.

When you uninstall a Windows app (ex: from Store), it will uninstall it for only your user account since each Microsoft account owns their own apps.
