Uninstall Annoying Windows 10 Stock Apps via Powershell

These apps come with Windows 10, and some you can Right-Click and Uninstall, while others you cannot. That that you are able to Right-Click and uninstall, seem to come back with every Windows Updates you install (because Right-Click Uninstall doesn’t uninstall them completely).
So the easiest way to do this is with our favorite enemy friend, Powershell!

  1. First thing is to open Powershell as Administrator

All stock apps are in the AppxPackage command set. So running something like Get-AppxPackage would show you currently installed stock apps.

2. Here is the list of package commands that can be used to remove all or specific components

Remove all stock apps from all user accounts
Get-AppxPackage -allusers | Remove-AppxPackage

Remove all modern apps from system account
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -onlineĀ | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online
