Many users of Windows 10 do not particularly like the mini applications that come pre-installed on their system. So many of them, either manually, one by one, or with various tweaks in circulation have been able to clean up the Microsoft operating system from any unnecessary bloatware additions.
However, after each major update, these applications, even if they have been removed with PowerShell, appear again without the user's permission being requested. Yes, the operating system re-installs all the apps that you took away.
But what applications are we talking about? Depending on the Windows traffic, the applications may be different.
Windows 10 includes a number of applications that are pre-installed with the operating system. These applications are installed on each user account. When you create a new user account, Windows 10 will automatically install this new user, all applications from the beginning. So although it is possible to remove them, with every big update, they come back again.
How to Uninstall these Applications in Windows 10
Open the Powershell (as administrator) by pressing the three keys together Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
First we will see the list of installed Universal apps in your account with the following command:
Get-AppxPackage | Select Name, PackageFullName |
To save the list to a txt file, type the following command:
Get-AppxPackage | Select Name, PackageFullName >"$ env: userprofile \ Desktop \ apps.txt" |
Then you can use the list stored on your desktop to remove the applications you do not want with the following command:
remove-AppxPackage - |
Let's now see how you can prevent Windows 10 from re-installing unwanted applications.
Identify the applications you want to remove, and write the name of the package for each application.
Create a .reg file that will have a registry key for each application as described below:

Good Evening. I made the txt with the applications and went with the command you give above to uninstall the xbox application, for example. The answer comes in red letters that the removal failed, to contact my supplier and in parentheses it says EXCEPTION FROM HRESULT: 0x80073CFA….
Thanks.

Good morning! I'm trying to figure out what to do with the instructions you give. So I want to ask the following:
I read and found how to open powershell as administrator. The powershell opens and writes PS C: \ WINDOWS \ system32> and flashes a yellow hyphen. You in your article tell us to type the first command to see the installed universall apps. This command will be typed exactly where the cursor flashes; Sorry to ask so detailed but for the time being they look Chinese.
Thanks.
good morning, yes where it blinks
