Windows 10 - Uninstall unwanted native applications



Windows 10 comes with its share of native software, very useful for some (calculator, notepad) and others .. much less (Cards, Get Office, Movies and TV, ..) We'll see in this article how uninstall these undesired applications. 


The first thing to know is that what we call "the Natives applications" are packages APPX therefore virtual packages identical to those installable via the Store. The PowerShell command used to handle these packages are also APPX for these native applications.
Let's start by listing the applications installed on our user profile, for this, we will use the following command (replace USER with the user name preceded by the domain name if necessary):
Get-AppxPackage -User USER | Format-Table PackageFullName
If necessary redirect the output of this command to a text file:
Get-AppxPackage -User USER | Format-Table PackageFullName >> c: \ appxList.txt
1
Once the list is obtained, it is only necessary to use the "Remove-AppxPackage" to remove unwanted applications based on the "PackageFullName" listed above (and rather explicit).
To remove application "Movies and TV", just for example, run the following command:
Remove-AppxPackage Microsoft.ZuneVideo_3.6.12101.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
