Windows 10 includes a number of built-in apps from basic apps like Calculator and Weather to more task-focused apps like Mail and Photos. Some of these apps are essential for consumers, while some apps are installed from an advertisement perspective. And the problem is Microsoft doesn’t make it easy to uninstall some Windows 10 built-in apps.

If you have a third-party app like uTorrent, can be easily uninstalled by finding its entry in the Start Menu, right-clicking on it, and selecting Uninstall. But if you attempt the same procedure for build-in apps like 3D viewer there is no Uninstall option

But if you are looking to uninstall them anyhow, On PowerShell using Get-AppxPackage and Remove-AppxPackage commands you can uninstall/remove built-in apps in Windows 10.
