On most occasions when we buy a new computer, we find that it already comes with Windows pre-installed. Along with the operating system as such, we find a series of applications that Microsoft offers us by default, but that do not convince everyone.
Specifically, we are referring to a series of UWP programs that cover various sectors of the software and that we find by default on our new Windows computer. Here we are talking about applications that have sometimes been with us for many years, as is the case with Notepad, Paint, the Calculator, Maps, Mail and many other titles that you surely know.
The integration of this software is carried out by Microsoft so that we can start working with our new computer almost from the first minute. From their point of view, this prevents us from having to download and install similar software solutions from their corresponding official websites. But at the same time, many users consider these applications to be completely unnecessary and do nothing but take up disk space. Hence the rejection that many have about these UWP applications that we are talking about.
Precisely because of all this that we are telling you, the first thing these users do is delete these pre-installed applications in the Windows system. However, it is worth mentioning at this point that removing these solutions will not always be possible. Microsoft protects certain tools with these characteristics so that we cannot delete them directly. Therefore, in the event that we have made the decision to eliminate this pre-installed software, we can always use third-party programs for all this. Next, we will show you a couple of solutions of this type that will help you.
Bloatware Removal Utility
First of all, we will talk about one of the best known and used proposals of this type for years. It is worth noting that its developers release periodic updates for their proposal and thus adapt this program to delete applications for the most recent versions of Windows. It is worth mentioning that it is an open source software solution that we can use for free just by downloading it from your github page.
In this way, as soon as we download and install this application on our Windows computer, we find a simple graphical interface. Here all the software that we have installed on our computer will be displayed, including the UWP applications that Microsoft offers us by default. We have several filters to locate specific titles such as those marked as bloatware, for example. All this makes it much easier for us to eliminate those applications that we do not want to continue on our computer.
10AppsManager
The name of this other proposal that we are talking about in these lines makes it clear what its main purpose is. Initially, it is responsible for allowing us to manage the applications installed on our Windows computer. At the same time we will have the possibility, how could it be otherwise, of deleting those UWP apps that we find pre-installed in the system.
Actually, it is a well-known software solution in this sector, valid for all types of users, even those who do not have much experience in these matters. Once we have downloaded it, a list appears on the screen with the UWP applications that we can uninstall at that precise moment, something that we can do immediately.
