Microsoft has released Windows 11 to the public, and it’s already receiving positive feedback. The update includes enhanced privacy and security, a new user interface, and the ability to install Android apps. However, as is typical with Windows OSs, many pre-installed features are of little use to most users.
Uninstalling apps from a Windows system can be tricky, but it doesn’t have to be. Our guide will show you how to remove any type of app, including programs, Windows Store apps, Windows updates and system apps. Don’t worry - with our help you’ll have your system clean in no time.
Uninstall apps via the start menu
