Windows 10 includes a lot of default apps and there's no simple way to hide them from the All Apps view on the new Start menu. You can uninstall them, but Microsoft doesn't allow you to do that easily in the usual way.
Before you begin, you should note that if it is not absolutely necessary, you should not uninstall existing applications. These apps only take up a small amount of space on your device, so it's best to ignore them if you don't want to and almost Windows Updates (especially the Fall Creators Update ) will reinstall apps. use this. However, if your big "wish" is to get rid of them, it will come true with the instructions in the following article. After uninstalling applications, you can always reinstall them with a single command line.
You can uninstall some applications the usual way. Just right-click the application in the Start menu, on the All Apps list or in the Tile view and select Uninstall .

However, you cannot remove most of Microsoft's other included Windows 10 apps this way.
You can uninstall most default applications, even those that do not provide an Uninstall option with PowerShell cmdlet.
