Windows 10: How to identify which apps will be uninstalled for all accounts in the pc and which ones...

I need to uninstall as many apps as possible from my Admin account before I do the next backup. I don't really use her computer anymore so I no longer need to have many of those apps. Unfortunately my daughter uses some of those apps, and some - not all - were uninstalled in her account too, one was 25 Gbs!!Thanks guys.

Completely uninstall provisioned apps: how-to and detailed explanation

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough. In step 1 I suggest to create ONE user only. I see you start with 2 users.
I suggested so because I see the error after the app has been uninstalled for that user and it is reverted to Staged state, i.e. it is still there, but not installed to any user. At that point option 6 fails for me. When you try option 6, I see the app is still installed for the second account.

Uninstall Apps in Windows 10  


Hello Geoff,

Q1) If it's a built-in app, then the user can restore the app using that tutorial only if the app was uninstalled for their account and not for all users. Being able to restore an app that was uninstalled for all users using the PowerShell command is currently broken in Windows, and break all built-in apps if used. The only way to restore them then is to do a repair install.

Q2) That's correct. If a built-in app is not listed in under step 3 in OPTION TWO, then it can't and be uninstalled. Those would be apps that are used by Windows, and shouldn't be uninstalled. For example, Microsoft Edge.

Q3) I haven't tied it to know, but I would assume that to be so.
