The Windows 11 update will allow you to uninstall several default applications

Windows 11 continues to progress for the benefit of users and, in response to their feedback, will soon allow you to uninstall preinstalled applications from the system without any forced methods. Thanks to this update, you’ll be able to get rid of many default applications that you’re not interested in using or simply want removed from your PC.

The current operating system reflects Microsoft’s efforts to stay focused on the direction it deems relevant, which is currently aimed at attracting more users who have not yet transitioned to Windows 11. The ability to uninstall preinstalled applications is something that appeals to any user who prefers having only the necessary apps on their system and being able to remove what they don’t need.

Removing preinstalled applications

For now, not many details have been disclosed, but Microsoft asserts that this feature will be active in their next significant update. Among the applications that can be discarded, although the complete final list is not known, stand out programs like Cortana, Photos, Wordpad, or Tips—applications that are typically part of a Windows PC.

In particular, the appearance of Cortana among the “dispensable” applications is striking, as one would expect Microsoft not to allow the deletion of apps they consider important or aim to encourage their usage. In that case, the update could be somewhat counterproductive for them.

Copilot is the AI around which all the future plans of Windows 11 revolve.

Paving the way for Copilot

In fact, one of the most affected by Copilot’s growth is Cortana itself, whose influence is becoming increasingly marginal and irrelevant compared to the powerful Artificial Intelligence that is causing almost all of Microsoft’s ecosystem plans to revolve around it. Copilot has the capabilities to support a multitude of systems and different applications.

Copilot isn’t fully operational yet, at least not in line with Microsoft’s envisioned plans. However, it’s undeniable that it will be one of the AIs that will generate the most buzz in the world of technology in the coming months. If Microsoft’s strategy pans out, it could dominate discussions for the next few years. Given that Copilot will work to support Outlook, Teams’ meeting application, and already aids searches in Microsoft Edge, you’ll likely continue hearing a lot about Copilot in the near future.
