Windows 10: Windows 10 broken after uninstall of pre-installed App-Games

Today I decided to uninstall some of the App-Games that were installed on my system.

Among these were (as far as I recall the names) :

- Soda Candy Crush

- Bubble Gems 3

- March of Empires: War of Lords

- and another one whose name I do not recall at all


I uninstalled them regularly via the Remove Apps option.

Nothing else was installed or removed.


Result after the next reboot :


- WLAN not working

- Sound not working (taskbar states that no sound device is present)

- various of the Controllcenter pages won't load or crash (e.g. Settings -> Network and Internet will produce a crashdump file like SystemSettings.exe.9576.dmp)

- Cortana has become unusable (doesn't react to what I type in)

- this component keeps produing crashdumps as well : Microsoft.Photos.exe.7820.dmp


So, what could have been broken by uninstalling these games coming from Microsoft or it's AppStore?


It seems like some central service or component goes rampage or doesn't come up at all due to that any more,

thus preventing me to put my system to any good use.


How to fix this?

Pre-loaded games won't uninstall


I'm not really into some of the games that were pre-loaded into my PC but when I try to bring up the games from the Start menu and click on 'uninstall' it takes me to the control panel, and I don't see the games listed there for me to uninstall. Suggestions, please? Thanks! ~P

 

Uninstall Apps in Windows 10  


Hello Geoff, *Smile

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.
