Programs and features corrupt

Or select that program's icon or name and click the Uninstall button in the toolbar. If prompted, enter an administrative password. Follow any additional instructions that appear on the screen.

If you don't find a program that you want to remove in Programs and Features, you may be able to remove its icon from Start, the area on the right side of the Start menu when you display the Start menu. When a program is on Start, it's pinned to the menu. To unpin it, right-click the icon you want to remove and click Unpin from Start. If you find such an option, you can click it to remove the program from your system.

Occasionally, you find a situation where removing a program generates an error message before the program is completely removed. The first thing to do, of course, is to read the error message and see what options it offers. You may be able to finish the removal just by choosing options that the error message provides. If you can't get rid of a program through the normal means or error message, your next best bet is to install the program again.

That may seem counterproductive, but the problem may be that the program only partially installed in the first place. A partially installed program may not have enough application files installed to do a thorough removal. After you've completed the initial installation, you should be able to remove the program without any problems.

Windows 10 comes with many programs and features built right in. How many depends on which edition of Windows 10 you purchased.

A filled check box represents a feature that's active but that also has additional subfeatures. Click the plus sign next to a feature to see what subfeatures it offers.
