Windows 10: Command "Get-AppxPackage" not recognized

I am trying to uninstall all W10 built in Apps. I am using an Admin power shell with cmd, i.e. "Get-AppxPackage *3dbuilder* | Remove-AppxPackage" but I get a response saying that "Get-AppxPackage" is not recognized. I have checked the forum but cannot find a problem like mine.

System:
HP sleekbook 15 laptop
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
VER: 1607
Build: 14393.447

Please advise how I can make this command work.

Thanks much

:)

 

Start Menu won't open, Windows 10 is suddenly sluggish

Ok, I tried it but now it says: "Get-AppXPackage" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

 

Upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10, my video player only playing black screen with audio

C:\WINDOWS\system32>get-appxpackage *Microsoft.ZuneVideo* | remove-appxpackage

'get-appxpackage' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

 

Hello Lyle, *Smile

That's the correct command and should work for you.

If you like, you could also uninstall the "3D Builder" app using OPTION 1 or 8 below.

Thanks much, Brink.

Option one will uninstall some but not all as the "uninstall" option is greyed out.

None of the apps show up in the "programs & features" so am left with trying to make the command work.

I have even did a reinstall of Win10 but no help.

Thanks again
Lyle

 

You might see if you may be able to uninstall the app after resetting the app.

Thanks again, Brink

I tried this procedure on "Groove Music" and after Reset the Uninstall was still greyed out not allowing
uninstallation.

This is not a big issue for me . I just thought I would clean up my system.

You have been most cooperative in helping me but do not put in a lot of time trying to resolve it.
Have a great day!

If you like, post some screenshots showing PowerShell after running the command to see if anything may stand out.

This will show where the command "Get-AppxPackage" is not recognized.

Thanks

 

Ah, I see the problem now.

That is an elevated command prompt instead of PowerShell. The command needs to run in PowerShell instead. *Smile

You are so right, Brink!!

My ignorance thought Cmd prompt and PowerShell were the same. The get package cmd does now work.

Thanks so much for your professional persistence in educating a dumb ol' boy like me.

Case Closed!!!

You're most welcome Lyle. Don't sweat it. We have all made similar simple mistakes. I'm glad it's working now for you. *Smile
