How can I uninstall Windows Store, Defender, and Photos?
Asked by

I'm having issues with Windows Defender, the Windows Store, and the Photos app on my computer. They all seem to crash or not open at all. I believe it's due to my specific CPU not supporting these applications, as they're not compatible with my build of Windows. Is there a way to remove these apps completely?

Be careful with that! Windows Defender, the Store, and Photos are pretty much built into the OS, so removing them could really mess things up. Might be a good idea to consider reinstalling Windows 11 instead. Just remember to back everything up first!

If your Windows version supports your CPU, those apps should work fine. What kind of special build are you using?
TechieNinja42: It's a specific insider build of Windows 10/11 for ARM devices, but the metro apps don't run on it.
