The next major update of Windows 10 will allow you to uninstall the most integrated applications

Microsoft's Windows 10 updates typically include new enhancements based on user feedback. However, Microsoft is also known to incorporate features and applications that users do not want to use in major updates and to enable old features that you do not use (hi, Cortana). In its next big update, Microsoft will help you reduce clutter. Starting next year, many pre-installed applications will be banned forever from your computer.

This will be a significant change for Microsoft, which previously considered all of its applications as essential components of the operating system. Thus, you can not uninstall them without major hacking. The latest version of Microsoft Insider (version 18262) includes uninstalling Microsoft applications. In this release, Windows 10 supports the uninstallation of 3D viewer, calculator, calendar, Groove music, messaging, movies and TV, 3D painting, capture and sketch, sticky notes and voice recorder. Some applications such as Camera, Edge, and Microsoft Store can not be uninstalled. You are also stuck with Cortana forever.

To uninstall these applications, you can right-click on the thumbnail or the entry in the application list. Click "Uninstall" and they are gone. You can recover applications later if you regret your decision. They are all in the Windows Store. But then you have to use the Windows Store. It's a difficult call.

If you are on the last October update, you can uninstall several applications already like this. Currently, Windows 10 supports removal of the Microsoft Solitaire Collection, My Office, OneNote, 3D Printing, Skype, Tips, and Weather. You've always been able to remove the "extra software" that Microsoft adds to every Windows installation, like Candy Crush Soda Saga and FarmVille 2.

You can already uninstall some Microsoft applications.

Microsoft has experienced delays with several recent updates, and even then, there are bugs that fail. Earlier this month, Microsoft rolled out its fall update for Windows 10 with an ugly bug that removed some users' document files. Microsoft has removed the update, fixed the bug and modified the feedback mechanism of its insider program in the hope of avoiding similar mistakes in the future.

The update that removes all these pre-installed applications will be the next major update in spring 2019. It is currently scheduled for April, but it could come a bit later because Microsoft is sure to not mess up the second update. in a row.
