Jody Thornton Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 As an Administrator account, I have removed the Apps and Packages folder (I think they were in \Windows, but it might've been in \ProgramData). I'm trying out this fxxmetro app, but it doesn't appear to actually speed up anything. Although the Metro engine ain't running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
informaticapowered Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) So , i only need to remove the apps and the packages folder from \Windows or \ProgramData Thank you Edited October 3, 2017 by informaticapowered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Thornton Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I believe so. It has always worked for me without detriment. Now if I turn off Classic Shell, I still get the charms and the start screen, but the apps are gone (besides in the Administrator account [which I rename], you can't run Metro apps anyway.)

pcalvert Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Here's a script you can use to uninstall the new Metro apps: Remove Windows Store apps in Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 And here's a tutorial on how to manually uninstall them: How to uninstall an App in Windows 8 This is how I removed all the apps using PowerShell: Get-AppXPackage -Allusers | Remove-AppxPackage Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage –online I learned about that here: Completely disabling Metro apps in Windows 8.1 Note: There are a few apps that Windows will simply refuse to remove.

You can get rid of charms by renaming two dlls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
