This is the best summary I could come up with:
Microsoft will allow Windows 11 users to uninstall even more built-in apps soon.
Microsoft ships a large number of these so-called “inbox apps” preinstalled with Windows 11.
It has been gradually allowing users to uninstall more of them, and we’re getting to the point where most can be removed freely.
The ability to uninstall the Camera app has been part of Windows 11 test builds since March, with the option to uninstall Cortana arriving in test builds earlier this month.
Microsoft is currently planning to release its next big Windows 11 update in September, which may include more uninstallation options.
The Windows 11 September update is also expected to include native support for RAR and 7-Zip files, a new settings homepage, a much better volume mixer, and early access to Windows Copilot.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Rather than upgrade to 11 I just went to Linux. Now I can uninstall all the apps I want.
How do you force uninstall even the ones you can’t officially uninstall?
Powershell
Get-AppxPackage -all NAME_OF_THE_APPX | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers
Remove any remnants files by taking ownership of the system folder app is in (it is trusted installer by default) and then you can delete those. With something like edge or cortana it can be bit more difficult, so you gonna have to google for those. Cortana is pretty similar, but it’s appx package name is something other than Cortana, but luckily that will be easier in the future.
