Windows 10: Are dimmed ‘Uninstall’ commands usable?

When we scan the applications in the ‘Settings’ facility of Windows 10, all of them display the ‘Uninstall’ button beside. But when the writing ‘Uninstall’ is dimmed, the application cannot be removed. In the early versions of Windows, only really essential software components were so protected and, for example, games like Mahjong or solitaire could be easily removed. Not so with Windows 10, whose Xbox has a dimmed and unresponsive ‘Uninstall’. The same happens with installed voice packages, Cortana, and other elements that are unwelcome in cheap computers with limited power and storage. The problem is aggravated by the need to install once or twice per year an even more massive update of Windows 10.


Such constraint looks even more incomprehensible when we move to the ‘Advanced Options’ of an application with a dimmed ‘Remove’ or ‘Uninstall’ and, beside it, we read the following: ‘Uninstall this app and its settings. Your documents will not be affected’. If pressing the dimmed ‘Uninstall’ proves ineffectual, why telling the customer that the app can be safely removed?


Is anyone able to clarify this apparent contradiction? Is there a way to streamline Windows 10 to the bare essential components in a way that suits computers like mine an Acer Switch One SW1-011, with 30 GB of storage and an Atom x5-Z8350 CPU @ 1.44GHz?

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused
