How to Uninstall Built-in Apps in Windows 10

Win10 system has some built-in software, some are needed by users, and some software and programs are useless. In fact, all the built-in software can be uninstalled. But it still depends on your usage needs, you can uninstall it if it is useless.

If the computer you use does not share the hard disk, please close the Server background service anyway, it can save you as much as 5-10% of overhead; if your computer does not use SMB to share other people's hard disks, please close the Workstation background service, It can save you about 3-6% of memory; in addition, if it is not an office computer that does not need to use netbios, please close the tcp/ip net bios background service.

How to Uninstall Unused Programs

Uninstall it with the help of a third-party app

It is also the easiest way to uninstall unwanted built-in programs with the help of some software management programs, but when you re-create a Windows account, it will automatically pre-install these software.

Use the software PowerShell that comes with the WIN10 system

WINDOWS PowerShell is a command-line shell and scripting environment that enables command-line users and scripters to harness the power of .NET FRAMEWORK.

1. You can search for PowerShell in the start menu and right click "run as administrator", this is very important.

2. Then we take uninstalling OneNote as an example, use the shortcut keys CTRL+C and CTRL+V to copy and paste the command: "GET-APPXPACKAGE *ONENOTE* | REMOVE-APPXPACKAGE" into PowerShell, hit enter, wait for it to uninstall itself, During the uninstallation process, a lot of error messages will pop up, but it has actually been uninstalled, so don't bother.

Other built-in apps can also be uninstalled using this method. Uninstalled software can be re-downloaded in the app store.
