Recently I updated my laptop to the latest test build of Windows 11 (22000.100) and I was scrolling through my apps list installing the bloatware that came it only to notice a phantom app at the bottom called "ms-resource:DisplayName". I tried to uninstall it by right clicking and just pressing the uninstall button but nothing happened. Is there like another way to dry and delete it I haven't heard off?

    Hi

    ms-resource:DisplayName is an app used by Windows.

    You cannot delete it.
