Is it a system app or third-party app?

Settings → Apps → Installed apps → find app → “…” → Uninstall
In Admin PowerShell run:
Get-AppxPackage *ExactAppName* | Remove-AppxPackage
In Admin CMD run:
winget uninstall "App Name"
For MSI apps use Admin CMD:
msiexec /x {ProductCode}
As last resort use a portable uninstaller (e.g. Geek Uninstaller) - TristanLewisIron Contributor
For apps you installed yourself and still can’t uninstall, try right-clicking the app icon in the Start menu and see if Uninstall is available there.

If there’s no uninstall button, I usually right-click the app in the Start menu and choose "Uninstall," or just use a tool like Geek Uninstaller to force remove it—works great for stubborn apps.
The system apps those comes with Windows 11, can't be uninstalled. Thanks for your understanding!

Oh these, Microsoft call them "systemcomponents" and they are horrible, I don't think you can get rid of them.
