How to uninstall all metro apps in Windows 10 easily

Matrix Leader

I've always wanted to get rid of all the metro apps in Windows 10 but it only allows you to uninstall a few and not all of them. Apps that I never will use like Photos, Maps, Music, Videos, etc. cannot be uninstalled.
I have tried several ways through PowerShell before to uninstall them but have never got it to work. Finally, a free portable app came out that actually works. I was able to successfully uninstall every metro app!
It's very simple, just right click on 10AppsManager.exe and Run it as an Administrator then select the apps you want to uninstall and click uninstall.


Note: It does warn you to create a system restore/backup before fiddling around with it but I never bothered, it works like a charm.

Download 10AppsManager

 

 

10AppsManager is a freeware tool that will help you uninstall and reinstall the default preinstalled Store apps on Windows 10, 32-bit & 64-bit.


It does not require an install. Extract the contents of the downloaded 10AppsManager zip file and place the folder in your Program Folder and pin the shortcut of its exe file to your Start Menu. Simply run its .exe file. Do not seperate out the contents of the Program folder.


To uninstall it, simply delete the program folder.

this worked but there were 2 apps that were stubborn and will never get removed, Photos and Camera.

 

Anyway, so happy I found this to get rid of everything! I never will use any of this metro app garbage. none of them.
