Microsoft recently released a new Canary version of Windows 11, which allows users to remove more built-in apps than previously allowed. When a user first boots into Windows 11 on a new machine, or clean installs Windows 11 on their system, there are many built-in apps. These include apps like Camera, Cortana, OneDrive, Photos, People and many others. With the latest insider build, Microsoft has relaxed the rules and allows users to uninstall more of these built-in apps.
Remove unwanted software from Windows 11
With this new update, users can finally uninstall more built-in apps than ever before. This is excellent news because many people don't use these native apps at all. In such a situation, these apps become "bloatware" and sometimes run silently in the background, sipping your valuable computing resources.
For some users, uninstalling the built-in apps means more storage space. Even if they don't take up a meaningful amount of storage space, some people have limited space on their operating system device and want to uninstall as many apps as possible. Regardless, removing these built-in apps will make the Windows 11 experience more bloat-free.
Personally, I never use apps like Photos, Cortana, People, or the Remote Desktop app. Currently, most users will not be able to uninstall these apps on the current Windows 11 version. When the Insider Preview changes make their way to the Windows 11 stable build, people will finally have the option to uninstall these system apps.
