How to uninstall apps in Windows 10 using the Command Prompt
If you’re looking for a quick way to uninstall apps in Windows 10, the command prompt offers the quickest solution. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
1. Press the Windows key + X on your keyboard and select “Command Prompt (Admin)” from the menu that appears.

How to uninstall apps in Windows 10 using third-party software
If you’re looking for a more comprehensive solution to managing your apps, you can try using third-party software. There are a few different options available, but we recommend IObit Uninstaller. This program makes it easy to remove unwanted apps, and even comes with additional features like a junk file cleaner and an ads/browser toolbar remover.
How to uninstall built-in apps in Windows 10
Windows 10 comes with a lot of built-in apps. Some of them are useful, while others are not. If you want to get rid of the pre-installed apps, there are a few ways to do it.
In most cases, you can uninstall an app by right-clicking on it and selecting “Uninstall.” However, there are some exceptions. Built-in apps like Calendar and Mail can’t be uninstalled this way.
If you can’t uninstall an app the normal way, you can use the PowerShell to remove it. To do this, open the PowerShell as Administrator and run the following command: Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage. This will remove all built-in apps from your Windows 10 installation.
If you only want to remove a few built-in apps, you can use a third-party tool like CCleaner or AppCleaner. These tools will allow you to select which apps you want to remove and they will handle the uninstallation process for you.
How to uninstall Windows Store apps in Windows 10
Windows 10 has a new feature that allows you to uninstall Store apps. Here’s how to do it:
1. Right-click on the Start button and select “Apps and Features”.
2. Select the app you want to uninstall, and then click “Uninstall”.
How to uninstall Microsoft Store apps in Windows 10
If you have a Microsoft Store app that you want to get rid of, you can uninstall it in Windows 10. Here’s how:
1. Go to Start > Settings > Apps.
2. Select the app you want to uninstall and then select Uninstall.
3. If you’re prompted for permission, select Yes.
How to uninstall apps in Windows 10 using the Registry
The Registry is a central database for storing system settings and options. To uninstall an app, you’ll need to find the appropriate key in the Registry and delete it. This process can be a little tricky, so it’s important to follow the instructions carefully.
1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
3. In the left pane of the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
4. In the right pane of the Uninstall key, right-click on the app you want to uninstall and select Delete.
5. Confirm the deletion by clicking Yes when prompted.
6. Exit the Registry Editor and restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
