Windows 10: Uninstalling Apps

Recently as I was trying to clean my XPS 15 of some unused apps and programs I found that anytime I was trying to uninstall an app it didn't matter what app it was the process could never go through. I am not getting any error messages or anything like that. Rather, the app just makes no progress towards uninstalling according to the progress bar shown when attempting to uninstall and app. I have researched a ton online and found no one that is having the same problem. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it!

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused

 

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.
