With Windows 11, Microsoft has introduced a revamped Settings app. However, although the new Settings app makes it easier to find settings and options, it might confuse users upgrading from Windows 10.

In Windows 10, we could uninstall an app or program right from the Settings app. We had to navigate to Settings > Apps > Apps & features page, perform a click on the app that we wanted to uninstall, and then click the Uninstall button to get rid of the app. However, the procedure has slightly changed in Windows 11, thanks to the new redesigned Settings app.

Following are the four ways to uninstall apps in Windows 11.

Method 1 of 4

Uninstall apps via Settings in Windows 11

Step 1: Open the Settings app. On the left side, click Apps, and then on the right side, click Apps & features.

Step 2: Now, scroll down the apps list. In Windows 10, clicking on the app’s entry would reveal the Uninstall option.

In Windows 11, to uninstall an app, you need to click on the small three dots icon (?) that shows up next to the app’s entry (refer to picture below) and then click the Uninstall option.

Step 3: When you get the confirmation, click the Uninstall button again to remove the selected app from Windows 11.

Method 2 of 4

Uninstall apps via Start/search in Windows 11

Did you know that you do not need to open the Settings app to uninstall an app? All you need to do is use the search. Here is how.

NOTE: Although most apps can be removed using this method, Windows 11 does not support uninstalling some inbox apps such as Clock and Cortana this way.

Step 1: Open the Start menu or click on the search icon on the taskbar to open the search panel and type the app’s name that you wish to uninstall.

Step 2: Upon typing the app’s name, you will see the app’s entry and related options. On the right side, as you can see in the picture below, an option to uninstall the app shows up.
