Windows 10: Built In Windows 10 Apps

Hello Microsoft Community,

How can I remove the built in Windows 10 apps that came with my computer? I tried to right click on some of them, and I get no "Uninstall" option.


Any help will be appreciated.


Thanks.

Windows 10 Built in apps + UAC

Hello,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft community. We understand your requirement in this regard.

Please share these details.

• 
  On which Microsoft account you are trying to disable these apps?
  
• 
  When you say "we have an application in our company, which requires UAC to be disabled for it to work”. Which application you are referring to?
  
• 
  On how many computers you are facing this issue?
  
• 
  Are the systems connected to a domain network?
  
• 
  Is the issue specific to this application?
  

You can see this error message “is app can't open with built in administrator account”, when you try to open built-in apps in built-in administrator. So you need a Microsoft account in order to make use of those built-in apps.



Moreover, I see you already disabled the UAC as per the application requirement that you use as a part of your company. We don’t recommend disabling UAC on to help make your computer secure. However currently we don’t have any option to run those
app with built-in administrator.



I suggest that you provide your suggestions and feedbacks in the dedicated Feedback App. Follow these steps to provide suggestions in Windows Feedback App.

At any time, select Start, and then type Windows Feedback to send us your opinions and suggestions. Windows Feedback is only available if you have Diagnostic and usage data set to Full (Full is the recommended setting).

To change the Diagnostic and usage data setting, go to Start , then select Settings > Privacy > Feedback & diagnostics, and then, under Diagnostic and usage data, select an option.



Thank you.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
