Windows 10 comes with many preloaded apps that users may not be too keen on utilising.
Now, Microsoft has introduced the ability to uninstall these apps in its latest preview build
of Windows 10. With Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14936, Microsoft has bought the
ability to uninstall preloaded apps like Mail, Calendar, Calculator, Groove Music, Maps,
and Weather.
In earlier versions, the uninstall button was not active against the above mentioned apps.
Now, if you head to the Apps and Features section in the Settings app, you will find that
the uninstall button is active, and that these apps can be removed easily.
This was first spotted by Ghacks, and the publication claims that the feature is expected
to roll out commercially next year. Also Camera, Cortana, Alarm & Clock, Messaging,
and many other apps are still difficult to remove, and the uninstall button remains inactive.
The reason for this distinction is unknown, and Microsoft could make the button active on
all apps eventually, before releasing it on the stable version. Of course, the preview
version is only available for Insider members, and if you want to use the latest build,
you need to be a part of the Windows Insider Program. To register, head here.
Twitter tipster Core has also hinted that the upcoming build that Microsoft intends to
release this week or next week, will be jam packed with features. Last month, Microsoft
announced that Windows 10 is running on 400 million active devices as on September 26.
To recall, Microsoft had announced Windows 10 was on 300 million active devices back
in May.
