Removing Apps From Windows 11
Windows 11 comes preloaded with a lot of default apps.  Depending on which version you have, you will see various apps in your start menu that you don’t want.  You can remove any app you do not want.

The very first thing you should try is simply right-clicking on an app in the start menu and see if there is the uninstall option.  If there is no such option, read on.

You can also check in the Apps section of your settings.  Click or touch the start menu, then settings (gear icon on the left side or found in the list of all apps and programs), now click or touch the icon "Apps".  There you will find all the apps and programs installed on your PC.

However, there will still be some that you cannot remove this way.  For those keep reading.

You will need to find PowerShell.  Go to start and type PowerShell.  You need administrator rights, so right click on it and choose "Run as administrator".  Or you can right click or long hold the start menu.  A menu will appear with "Terminal (Admin)", click or touch it.

Now, all you need to do is copy & paste the appropriate code for each app you want to remove from Windows 11.
