To remove built-in or other apps in Windows 11, use these supported options:

  1. Uninstall from Start menu
    1. Select Start > All apps.
    2. Find the app in the list.
    3. Right-click (or press and hold) the app and select Uninstall.
  2. Uninstall from Settings
    1. Select Start > Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
    2. Scroll or use the search box to find the app.
    3. Select More (three dots) next to the app > Uninstall, then follow the prompts.
  3. Uninstall from Control Panel (for classic desktop programs)
    1. In search on the taskbar, type Control Panel and open it.
    2. Go to Programs > Programs and Features.
    3. Right-click the program you want to remove and choose Uninstall or Uninstall/Change, then follow the on-screen directions.

Notes:

  • Some built-in Windows apps cannot be uninstalled.
  • If an app is misbehaving but cannot be removed, try Settings > Apps > Installed apps > select the app > Advanced options and use Repair or Reset if available.
