You had to use Windows PowerShell and type in complicated commands &#8211; hence most of us still have all of the apps that came with Windows 10. If you&#8217;re one who uses them all, great. But if you&#8217;re like most of us, you probably only use a few.<\/p>\n<p>In this easy tutorial, we&#8217;re going to show you how to remove unwanted Windows apps the easy way&#8230;no Windows PowerShell needed.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Click on the Windows 10 start button (or press the Windows key) to open the Windows 10 Start menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2016\/remove-apps-0.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"483\" height=\"397\" \/><\/p>\n<p>2. Click on &#8220;All apps&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>3. Browse the menu for any apps you don&#8217;t want or don&#8217;t use. For this tutorial, I&#8217;m choosing to uninstall an app called &#8220;Line&#8221;, which I don&#8217;t use. \u00a0So, I just right-click on &#8220;Line&#8221; and click on &#8220;Uninstall&#8221; (see below):<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2016\/remove-apps.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"496\" height=\"493\" \/><\/p>\n<p>4. When I click Uninstall (above) I see a confirmation that I really do want to uninstall it (see below).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2016\/remove-apps1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"348\" height=\"233\" \/><\/p>\n<p>5. So to uninstall &#8220;Line&#8221;, click &#8220;Uninstall&#8221;again and it&#8217;s gone.<\/p>\n<p>6. You can uninstall most apps this way. So open your Start menu, click All apps, and ferret out any apps you don&#8217;t want and remove them as above.Note; There are\u00a0some apps, like Cortana and Edge, that can&#8217;t be uninstalled. If you run into an app that cannot be installed you won&#8217;t see an uninstall option. You&#8217;ll have to ask uncle Bill why.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind, if you have tiles on your Start menu for apps you don&#8217;t use, you can right-click the app&#8217;s tile and choose &#8220;Uninstall&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Now, how can I uninstall EB?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Removing unwanted apps from Windows 10 the easy way Once upon a time, not too long ago, removing unwanted apps from Windows 10 was a real pain in the neck.
