Windows 10: Are all these games actually installed?

Just done a fresh install of Windows 10, and when I click the Start button, I can see loads of stuff I really don't want. Most of this seems to be games.

Are these actually installed? If so, how do I get rid of them? If they aren't installed, do I just unpin the icons from the Start menu?

Thanks in advance.

:)

 

Are these games compatible with Windows 10, Razer Abysuss, Cooler Master Devestator?

here is a list of the games that CURRENTLY work

Sorry, but I am talking about peripherals. But that also helped.

 

Hello Yossu, *Smile

These would be suggested apps from the Microsoft Store.

They will be automatically installed unless you turn this off using the method in the tutorial below.

*Arrow Turn Off Automatic Installation of Suggested Apps in Windows 10 Apps Features Tutorials

 

Just uninstall what you don't want.

 

I followed those instructions, and rebooted to be sure, but my Start menu still shows loads of games and things I don't want.

Looking at the control panel, I can't see any of them under the list of installed programs, but it could be that apps show up somewhere else (never used them so I don't know).

Any ideas? Thanks

 

None of them show up in the control panel. Does that mean they aren't installed? Where do apps normally show up?

Thanks

 

If you right click on the game in the Start menu, do you see an "Uninstall" option?

If not, then it's only a suggested app at this point.

If yes, then you can uninstall it if wanted.

Just to make it clear what I mean, here is my Start menu, with some of the stuff I don't wanted circled (very badly) in red...





If I look in the control panel, I don't see any of these...





Any ideas? Thanks again.

 

Yep, those are suggested apps.

Do you have an "Uninstall" option when you right click on them? (see tutorial link I posted above for more details if needed)

 

Oh yes. Never thought of that!

Thanks, I'll get rid of them that way.

 

You're most welcome. Glad we could help. *Smile

 

Just out of interest, where were those apps stored? I didn't see anything in the usual locations (program files, etc). Are they somewhere else?

I found an article somewhere (forgotten now) that showed how to see a hidden WindowsApps folder (I think it was called), but I didn't see all those games in there. I would like to make sure I got them all.

Thanks again.

 

Apps from the Store have packages stored in the hidden folder below by default.

"C:\Program Files\WindowsApps"
