Uninstall system apps in Windows 10 Creators update ??, yah ! there is a way to uninstall the apps
we call it a system app or bloatware. We did that using Powershell in our earlier Windows 10
editions. But in Windows 10 Creators update, when you think about uninstalling all apps at once
using the command Remove-AppxPackage then it will seriously affect your system performance.
Why ? the answer is simple most of the options included in the windows 10 OS are now replaced
with the application.

Microsoft team might had thought, a clean fresh UI will satisfy the customers and it is the only way
to make them to spend more time on their PC . Of course, it's necessary to satisfy customers so
Microsoft may had followed this approach of bringing a separate system app for everything in the
name of trusted windows store app. But what for other intermediate users like us ? we often
experiment new things by changing some thing and deleting some things.

If you seen the above thing, then you will know why removing app package will make your PC
broken. The above one shows AccountsControl is a system package name which is likely to perform
the operation of account control on our PC, So what if we uninstall it using get-appxpackage|remove-appxpackage -confirm and then y ?
Our accounts control package and bio package will get removed. So when i open account control or bio metric system, my PC won't work.
Like the above, there are many things now are in the form of application or system ui, removing
them will make our PC to miss that option.
The only way to escape from this, is not removing all the packages at once. So don't remove all
packages using powershell instead remove only the packages you don't need like .zunemusic,
alarm,etc things..
Hope it is helpful.
