How to uninstall apps?

[carsten888]

After updating to windows 10 I don't need Classic Shell any more.

But how to uninstall, the uninstall button is disabled. (sorry about Dutch language install).

Do the old fashioned way.
Go to Programs and Features > right click at Classic Shell > Uninstall.

Will that work ?

I tried that, there is no right-click menu. Not for any of the programs.

Download Revo Uninstaller. Pick the Free version.
Run it and use it to uninstall Classic Shell..

When done, I suggest you run a system file check to look for corrupt files.

System File check....................

Run a system file check to look for corrupt files. It will try to do repair if any found.

Right click at Start button > select Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.....

sfc /scannow
> press Enter.

It will take quite sometime. When finished, it will give you one of the 3 reports : (paraphrasing )

1. No integrity violation.
2. Found corrupt files and repair successfully.
3. Found corrupt files but unable to repair.

If report is #1. Your solution lies elsewhere.
IF report is #2, go see if everything is now working ok.
If report is #3, please do the following........

Right click at Start button > select Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.....

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

> press Enter.

Again, it will take some time. When finished it will give you a report.
If it says operation successful, go see if everything is now working ok.

No.
Looks like you're on 7 or 8. I'm on windows 10. So it seems the geniusses in Redmond have taken away that button. Or maybe I'm overlooking something.

I am on Windows 10 Home.
That button is always there.

How do you get to your programs-screen? It looks all different then my apps screen (config > apps).

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features
Very similar to where it has been in previous versions of Windows, although it only includes Win32 applications, you won't likely find any new universal apps there.

Try to pay attention to what people write to you.
It's Programs and Features that I asked you to go to. Not " config > apps ".

My reply regarding that was...........
Do the old fashioned way.
Go to Programs and Features > right click at Classic Shell > Uninstall.

Ah I found it. Right-click on windows icon > programs and features. Uninstall worked fine.
