What is My Office in the Windows 10 system?

These days we flow from one Windows build to another, being gently but insistently pushed by Microsoft to do so. As a result, our user experience gets noticeably better  – well, in most cases. What is more, timely updates enhance our privacy and security (and we can never repeat too often that they should always be put first).

However, the transition process is far from being flawless, and bugs and glitches regularly come up. Thus, after updating their OS, many users now have two apps inviting them to install the Office suite: My Office and Get Office. This situation may occur even if you have Microsoft Office installed. So, no wonder you wish My Office gone.

How to uninstall Windows 10’s built-in apps?

Since My Office is technically a Win 10 built-in app, you should deal with it accordingly. Such apps come as part of your OS and are often important for its function, but My Office is not the case. You are free to delete it in order to make room for something more valuable.

In a nutshell, Windows 10’s built-in apps can be removed either normally or via PowerShell. The first solution is pretty straightforward: if you wish to uninstall a built-in app, proceed with that the way you deal with a regular app. The only catch is, not all Win 10 built-in apps can be removed that way. That is why you might need to use PowerShell for that purpose.

How to remove My Office from Windows 10?
