You can uninstall apps on Windows 10 through the Settings app. Here's how:
- Open Settings: Click the Start button and then select the "Settings" icon (it looks like a gear).
- Navigate to Apps: In the Settings window, click on "Apps."
- Apps & features: Make sure "Apps & features" is selected in the left-hand menu. This will display a list of installed applications on your computer.
- Select the app: Find the app you want to uninstall in the list. You can scroll or use the search box to find it quickly.
- Uninstall: Click on the app. An "Uninstall" button will appear. Click "Uninstall."
- Confirm: You may see a confirmation prompt. Click "Uninstall" again to confirm.
Important Considerations:
- Desktop apps vs. Store apps: Some apps (desktop apps) may launch their own uninstall wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the uninstallation. Apps downloaded from the Microsoft Store usually uninstall directly from the Settings app.
- Administrative Privileges: You might need administrative privileges to uninstall certain applications. If prompted, provide the necessary credentials.
- Troubleshooting: If you encounter issues during uninstallation, you might need to use a dedicated uninstaller program or consult the app developer's website for specific instructions.
- Alternative Methods: Although the Settings app method is recommended, some programs can also be uninstalled from the Control Panel.
