Microsoft will soon allow you to uninstall more Windows 11 built-in apps
Microsoft has unveiled Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23585, promising an enhanced level of user control over built-in apps. The forthcoming update will allow users to uninstall a broader selection of inbox apps, expanding on existing capabilities.
Among the apps that can be removed are the Camera app, Cortana, Photos app, People app, and the Remote Desktop (MSTSC) client. This change is a significant step towards a more flexible and personalized user experience, a focus area for Microsoft's ongoing development efforts.
The ability to uninstall these applications responds to a longstanding request from Windows users seeking greater autonomy in managing pre-installed software. This update marks an important milestone in Microsoft's commitment to delivering an operating system that is more adaptable to user preferences.

Too late..... I uninstalled Windows completely YEARS AGO when M$ added all the telemetry, adware, and bloatware garbage.
Finally! Though I don't use Windows anymore, so it matters not to me at this point.
