Highlights

  • The new Windows 11 update offers more app uninstall options
  • The upgrade aims to address bloatware and unused programmes consuming system resources
  • Users can free up storage space & improve system speed by deleting pre-installed programs

Microsoft, the multinational technology corporation, has introduced a new update to Windows 11, providing users with the ability to uninstall a wider range of built-in apps than was previously possible. This change comes as part of a recent Canary build release and aims to give users more control over their system's pre-installed applications.

The upgrade is intended to solve the problem of ‘bloatware,’ where numerous built-in programmes that frequently go unused can use up vital system resources. The first list of pre-installed programmes for Windows 11 includes programmes like Camera, Cortana, OneDrive, Photos, and People. Many users, however, discover that they aren't using these programmes and instead choose to free up space and resources for programmes that they do use.

Get more space & customisation

The recent update introduces a nice modification for customers whose operating system disc has little free space. Even though each of these built-in programmes could not need a large amount of storage, the accumulation of pointless apps might result in a crowded system. Users can free up important storage space and perhaps enhance the speed of their system by having the ability to delete a wider variety of pre-installed programmes.

A step towards personalised computing

The upgrade is intended to respond to individual preferences, allowing users to personalise their Windows 11 experience. Certain apps, like Photos, Cortana, People, and Remote Desktop, are frequently underutilised by certain users, and this upgrade gives a chance to clean the interface and optimise daily interactions. While these improvements are now only accessible in the insider preview, they are likely to make their way to the final version of Windows 11, offering consumers more control over their operating system.

Finally, the most recent upgrade to Windows 11 from Microsoft allows users to delete a wider variety of built-in applications, boosting customisation and freeing up important system resources. By enabling users to customise and simplify their Windows 11 devices, this improvement is expected to enhance the user experience.
