Quick summary
10AppsManager is a free, lightweight utility created by Lavish Thakkar that lets you fully remove or restore the built-in Windows 10 Store applications. Unlike some other freeware (for example, O&O AppBuster, which only deletes unwanted apps), this tool supports both complete uninstalls and reinstalls of the default Store apps that ship with Windows 10.
What it can do
- Completely remove preinstalled Windows Store apps instead of merely hiding them
- Restore those same apps when needed
- Run without going through an installation routine (portable)
- Give fast feedback during uninstall/reinstall operations
Examples of supported apps
- News
- Sports
- Maps
- Money
- Music
- Weather
How to remove or restore apps
- Launch the program (no installation required if you unpack the folder).
- Pick the app you want to remove from the list.
- Click the Uninstall control — the removal completes quickly and a confirmation dialog appears.
- To put an app back, select it and press the Reinstall/Restore button; a system reboot is usually required to apply the change.
Portability and safety notes
This utility runs as a portable executable: unzip the package and you can start using it immediately. However, it is described as experimental software. Before making changes, create a full backup or a system restore point so you can recover if something goes wrong.
Bottom line
Although using 10AppsManager carries some risk because it manipulates built-in components, it provides a straightforward way to take full control of the Windows 10 Store apps on your PC. For users who need to remove or recover default apps quickly, it is a practical and effective option.
