  1. Remove Potential Unwanted app


    I Found something weird, I checked my files, and then, I found this thing, it says, system32, and if I open one of the things in the file, this thing would pop up, You Are Attempting to open a file type "System File" .dll, These files are used by the operating system and by various programs. Editing and modifying them could damage your system. I'm afraid to be honest because I found presenoker thing, and I don't know how to remove the virus! I hope you can help me [Original Title: Hello,]

  3. Removal of unwanted apps

    The default apps cant be removed using normal methods. You can remove them from the start screen.

    If you REALLY want to uninstall them you can try the below. They will be re-installed the next insider build. You have to realize Microsoft gets revenue from their advertisers based on how many machines they are installed on

    Step 1: Uninstall it completely
    • Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator.
    • Type Get-AppxPackage, press Enter.
    • From the output list, find Mail App package and remember its PackageFullName as below:
    • And then type the following command: Remove-Appxpackage –Package microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.6120.42011.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
    Repeat for all the apps you want to remove.

    Protection History Warning - Potentially unwanted app found

    Not exactly a false positive, more a precaution as MiniTool bundle optional apps from their partners in their installer. See this thread, in particular post #2 from MiniToolSupport themselves.
