To remove MSN from Windows 10, you can typically uninstall it through the Apps and Features or Programs and Features settings in Windows.
While "MSN" can refer to several things (like the MSN website in a browser, or the Windows Live/MSN Messenger service), the most common component users might want to remove that's installed on their PC is often MSN Explorer.
Here is the standard method for uninstalling installed programs like MSN Explorer on Windows 10:
Method: Uninstall MSN Explorer via Apps and Features/Programs and Features
Windows 10 provides a built-in way to manage and uninstall software installed on your computer. This is the recommended and most straightforward approach.
Steps to Uninstall MSN Explorer
- Open Windows Settings: Click the Start button and then click on the gear icon to open Settings, or press
Windows key + I. - Navigate to Apps: In the Settings window, click on "Apps". This will open the "Apps & features" section.
- Find MSN Explorer: Scroll down the list of installed applications, or use the search bar provided, to look for MSN Explorer in the list.
- Select and Uninstall: Once you find "MSN Explorer", click on it. An "Uninstall" button will appear.
- Initiate Uninstallation: Click on the uninstall button to initiate the uninstallation. Follow any on-screen prompts from the uninstaller program.
Note: Depending on how MSN Explorer was installed, it might appear under "Programs and Features" in the older Control Panel. You can access this by searching for "Control Panel" in the Start menu and then selecting "Programs" > "Programs and Features". The steps to find and uninstall the application from there are similar.
This method specifically targets the installed application known as MSN Explorer. If you are referring to the MSN website appearing as your browser homepage or default search engine, that is a browser setting that needs to be changed within your web browser's configuration, not by uninstalling something from Windows.
