    Removing unwanted programs from the Microsoft Store permanently?


    Is there a way to remove old programs from the store permanently? I have uninstalled them, but the "library" tab is a DISASTROUS mess of nearly 50 programs that I do not have installed, and I never have the intention of installing them again, ever. I cannot find a way to remove them from my library at the moment, making the new and shiny store that is pushed with Windows 11 pretty user unfriendly. Is there a way to actually remove them? Or am I going to have to stick to using Google Keep to keep track of my programs I like to install on new machines?

    :)

  2. Permanent removal of the unwanted apps from the Microsoft store Library list

    I want to know when we will be able to permanently remove numerous old useless unwanted apps from the Microsoft Store Library list.

    It is quite a headache to search for an important app among hundreds of old unwanted apps which are just occupying space in the library list.

    The hide feature is ok but its not self sufficient. I think just in this case the Google Play store provides an option to permanently remove unwanted apps from the library list. I think there is a room for improvement for Microsoft, and frankly speaking
    they should really take a leaf out of Google Play store's book.

    Honestly, no professional would like to see Candy Crush Saga by default having a place in ones Microsoft Store library list even if he has never played it or never want to play it.

    I hope that Microsoft will do something regarding this probably in the upcoming update.

    Expecting a positive and quick response from your end.

    Thank you.

    Regards

    Microsoft signals end of Paint program

    Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

    In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

    Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

    Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.
