Have you uninstalled any/all preinstalled Win 10 apps that have uninstall feature?

[Deleted member 2913]

I know there are steps to remove all Win 10 preinstalled apps.

I am talking of those preinstalled apps that have uninstall feature.

Mention preinstalled apps you have removed & why?
Mention preinstalled apps you haven't removed & why?

I've uninstalled all apps that have the option of being uninstalled since I have no use whatsoever with them

Xbox app doesn't require owning an Xbox. If you have a MS account, you can use that to earn points from certain games linked to Xbox, optional of course. It also has a Game DVR to record games (Win Key + G) or applications, with a very basic video trim tool.

I haven't played with the 3D builder, but with the rise of 3D printers, it has some future potential.

Thanks @Huracan. I've been enjoying some of the Xbox games with my windows account on 8.1, and was just wondering about this which makes Windows 10 all the more attractive! I may just keep these apps, that is as soon as I have Windows 10!

I have unistalled all of them, since I don't use them at all; then die.

It's the first thing I do before I even Update Windows, since I have no use for them besides OneDrive and Xbox since it comes with Game DVR. Pretty handy dandy.

I today noticed "optional features" in the start menu. It shows fonts I guess. Dont know new came with windows updates or was already there with Win10 install? It too has uninstall option. Can it be removed safely?

Spoiler: Disregard

I know one of the mods or admins posted a way to remove apps without the uninstall option. I just can't find it anymore, unless I'm trippin. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, hit me up.

Update: I found it nvm.

Can one reinstall the uninstalled apps individually?

Yes, I posted a link in the thread linked above, although I haven't personally tried it. You can also reinstall apps from the Windows Store.

Purchased apps have a 10 device limit, if I understood correctly.

The comments here are mixed. Some say it just removes the package & not cleans related files, etc..., Some say removes the apps for current users only, other probs, etc...

I think I will uninstall those apps only that have uninstall feature in the rightclick menu.

To reinstall the uninstalled apps I checked store & are available there. But couldn't find OneDrive in the store apps included in Win 10?

 

[jamescv7]

I didn't uninstall neither cause my storage space is too plenty.

+ There are useful tools that you can use in future use + free.

 

[Deleted member 2913]

You didn't uninstall any or uninstall some?
What all you uninstalled?
And what all you kept that could be useful in future?

By the way you can reinstall apps from store though it requires signing in.

 

[Deleted member 2913]

Ok...I have uninstalled all the apps that have uninstall feature & also checked with store that If I need any in future can be reinstalled through store. All the apps are available through store.

I cannot find OneDrive in store so didn't uninstall it. Currently I have no use of OneDrive & want to uninstall it but in the future may want to reinstall it. Why its not available through the inbuilt store in Win 10?

And I haven't uninstall "Optional Features" yet. I am confused as to uninstall or not coz it shows Eng, Hindi, Marathi language/fonts or something. I have Google Input Tools installed on the system for Hindi & Marathi. Dont know if optional features is needed for Google Input Tools or any other programs/apps or not?

 

[Andytay70]

I uninstalled all apps as i didnt want my PC looking like a windows phone!

 

[xxtoss23]

Nope because I don't remove windows 10 pre installed apps I use them I have ms account
