    Unable to uninstall an app on Windows 10

    Hello dayhiker4k,

    First, I went ahead and moved this thread to the appropriate category, so no need to worry about that. Thanks for letting us know about this.

    Regarding your concern, I have listed below the most basic steps on how to uninstall a program on Windows 10 via settings. Try it out and see if it helps:

    • On the Start menu, select Settings.
    • Select Apps.
    • Select the program, and then select Uninstall. Some apps built into Windows can't be uninstalled.
    • Follow the instructions on the screen.

    If the above step won't work, I suggest that you check with Webroot's support website for steps on how to completely uninstall their programs. Some anti-virus apps require certain permissions, or may have have different steps to perform in order to completely
    take it out of the system.

    If you're still having trouble uninstalling the app, the last resort that I can share to you is to uninstall it using
    Command Prompt. Follow the steps provided by Ramesh.Kumar from
    this link and let us know the outcome.

    We'll keep an eye out to your response.

    How to uninstall Windows 10 apps ?

    After some upgrade about 60 days ago, I am unable to use Mail and Calender app in Windows 10, it will not allow me to uninstall the app to reinstall as suggested by the store. The app is grayed out and no option to uninstall. I have tried Windows Powershell
    , as suggested by other users with similar problems but it says this file may be corrupted. So I ran a deep virus scan with no success. Is there any other steps I can take.
