The options to uninstall stock apps are accessible by navigating to the Settings menu, clicking on Apps & Features, and then pressing on an app to uninstall it. At the moment, however, only certain apps can be uninstalled, such as Phone, Maps, Mail, and Calander. Other apps which are core to the Windows 10 experience such as People, Store, Sticky Notes, Photos, and Alarm and Clock are greyed out and can not uninstalled.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
