Apps getting reinstalled automatically after uninstalling

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that after uninstalling few applications, they get installed again. However, we will need the following information from you:

• Are you able to uninstall the applications successfully?
  
• Does this issue occur only with these particular applications?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  

Ideally, if you uninstall an application, it wouldn’t install again without users permission. It could be that the apps are showing as recommended applications. However, once you uninstall the applications, you can go ahead and check the installed
apps on the computer and see if the applications show up in installed apps. Follow the steps to check the same:

1. Press Windows key + I, to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Apps.
   
3. Click on Apps & features.
   
4. Scroll down and check if the applications are installed.
   

You may also, refer the steps mentioned below to avoid installation of apps:

1. Press Windwos key + I, to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Personalization.
   
3. Click on Start on the left pane and toggle the switch for
   Show suggestions occasionally in Start to turn it off.
   
4. Now, open Microsoft Store.
   
5. Click on Ellipsis (…) and click on
   Settings.
   
6. Toggle the switch for Update apps automatically to turn it off.
   

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
