Can I use revo uninstaller to remove windows system apps?
Windows 11 comes with a lot of apps I don't use. But there is no way to uninstall the Windows app such as Copilot. I want my Windows 11 clean and don't be bloated with useless staff. I heard the thir...
Revo Uninstaller is a powerful third-party tool designed to remove unwanted programs and residual files from your system. However, when it comes to Windows 11 built-in system apps, especially core components like Copillot, the situation is different.
Important considerations:
- Many built-in Windows apps are integrated into the operating system. Removing them can sometimes lead to system instability or unexpected behavior.
- Revo Uninstaller primarily targets traditional desktop applications (Win32 apps). Modern UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps, like many Windows Store apps, are more deeply integrated and may not be fully removable using standard uninstallation methods.
- Attempting to remove system apps via third-party uninstallers can sometimes cause issues, including breaking Windows features or updates.
While Revo Uninstaller can remove traditional desktop programs effectively, it is not recommended for removing core Windows system apps or UWP apps because it might not succeed and could cause system issues. If you want to clean up Windows 11, consider using built-in options or carefully crafted PowerShell commands, and always create a system restore point or backup before making significant changes.
