  1. Why is my PowerToys start menu name called "PowerToys (Preview)"?


    I corrected the shortcut file name in explorer but when I correct the start menu folder name to just "PowerToys" the actual Start Menu wording doesn't change and it also breaks the starting of the program from the Start Menu, too.

  2. I am not able to uninstall PowerToys from my system.

    Hello Kevin

    I installed PowerToys via Microsoft Store. There are other ways and more information listed here, out of which I chose Microsoft Store.

    However, whenever I try to uninstall it, it leads me to the Control Panel, which, as I said earlier, doesn't show PowerToys in its list. I am confused because I tried these same steps on my other Microsoft Store applications, and your steps seem to be perfectly applicable to these applications.
