23 apps you can uninstall in the latest version of Windows 10 7

We continue talking about Windows 10, this time about the applications that come pre-installed in the most popular operating system for desktop and laptop computers. The latest Windows 10 update brings many improvements, one of the most notable being the possibility of uninstalling up to 23 UWP applications that come from the factory in the system.

Windows 10 is an operating system that is strongly committed to UWP or universal Windows applications. These applications are characterized by being designed to work on all types of Windows 10 devices, hence their name. However, with the demise of Windows 10 Mobile, many of these apps have stopped making sense.

How to uninstall UWP apps from Windows 10

Another problem with UWPs is the impossibility of uninstalling them, which forces you to have them on your computer, yes or yes. Fortunately, this has changed a lot with the May update of Windows 10. The latest version of this operating system already allows us to uninstall many UWP applications, specifically there are 23 that we can remove if we are not interested.

  1. Xbox Live
  2. Xbox
  3. 3D viewer
  4. Adhesive notes
  5. Cropping and annotation
  6. recommendations
  7. 3D Print
  8. Mixed reality portal
  9. Mobile plans
  10. Movies & TV
  11. Paint 3D
  12. OneNote
  13. OneDrive
  14. News
  15. Microsoft Solitaire
  16. My Office
  17. Groove music
  18. Voice recorder
  19. Time
  20. Mail
  21. Opinion Center
  22. Calendar
  23. Calculator

Many of these applications are quite useful, but there are options for traditional applications that are much more complete , and of course much less problematic when uninstalling them.

The procedure to uninstall these applications from Windows 10 is very simple. First of all, you must make sure that you have your operating system updated to the latest version , especially if you are a fan of disabling Windows 10 updates. Once you have your Windows 10 updated to the May 2019 version, you can proceed.

To do this, the first thing is to go to the Windows configuration application , you can access it in a very comfortable way from the start menu of the operating system.

The next step is to go to " Applications and Features ". A window will show you all the UWP applications that you have installed on your Windows 10. Uninstalling them is as simple as clicking once on them and clicking uninstall. You will notice that the option is not available for all of them, because for now there are still quite a few applications that cannot be removed.

UWP apps you can't delete yet

There are currently a total of 10 UWP apps that you cannot remove from your Windows 10 . For now we cannot tell you if this will continue to be the case, or if with a new update it will be possible to eliminate them. Microsoft adds new functions to Windows 10 in each new update, so it is not ruled out that in the near future you can remove all UWP applications.

For now, the list of applications that you cannot delete is the following:

  1. Xbox Game Bar
  2. Telephone
  3. Microsoft Store
  4. Microsoft Edge
  5. Messages
  6. Maps
  7. Photos
  8. Contacts
  9. Camera
  10. Alarms and clock

It's no secret that UWP apps have never been very popular, and they make less and less sense after the demise of Windows 10 Mobile for quite some time. Perhaps it is a good time to completely remove them from Windows 10, or at least it is the user who chooses which ones are installed or not, instead of having to uninstall later those that are not going to be used.

What do you think of UWP apps? Do you think they are useful?
