If you are using an HP computer, you should be using a Windows operating system, and it’s likely to be Windows 10. As new users try out the system for the first time, questions might arise. For example, how to remove the built-in apps? There are actually more than one way to do it.

Method 1: Remove built-in apps from the Start screen

This is the simplest way:

1.Press the Windows logo on your keyboard (If it is a touch screen, tap the icon on the screen).
2.Right-click (or tap and hold) the app that you want to uninstall.
3.Click Uninstall.

Method 2: Remove built-in apps from the Apps & features

This might not be too obvious:

1.Click the Windows logo, and click the gear icon, e.g., the “All settings”.
2.Select “System”.
3.Select “Apps & features”.
4.Find the app you want to remove in the list, click it, and click the Uninstall button appeared.

Method 3: Remove built-in apps using PowerShell

For those that don’t even offer an “Uninstall” option, you may use PowerShell:

1.Press and hold Windows + X on your keybard, and select “Windows PowerShell(Admin)” option from the Power User menu.

(Note: If you haven’t installed the Windows Creators Update from Spring, 2017 yet, click Start, type “PowerShell” into the search field, right-click it and select “Run as administrator”.)

2.Copy and paste one or more of the following commands into the PowerShell prompt, and press Enter after each command to remove the app(s) you don’t want:
