Powershell.exe with Administrator *Package Uninstaller*

[dillacorn]

Open Powershell.exe with Administrator.

I am showing you how to uninstall packages that come with Windows 10. You can view all packages that are included and installed with Windows 10 by typing the following below.

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers

After you have typed that you can look through the list and "Google" each to see what it does before uninstalling it. You cannot blame me if you decide to break your OS while doing this.

Now on to uninstalling packages. Certain packages will not work, because they have there own firewall built around them so you cannot uninstall them for example Cortona cannot be uninstalled. If you are worring about privacy fixes then you should just not use Windows 10 in all honesty. Windows devs have made so many work arounds so you cannot disable or uninstall certain applications or services. YOU CANNOT escape Windows 10 privacy, so go back to Windows 7 or switch to Linux if you are still worried about privacy.
