    Unwanted apps !

    This is the reason apps are displayed as potentially unwanted. This list is created by noticing the apps that display behavior that is similar to other apps that have caused trouble in the past and frankly for a less experienced user it will be safer to avoid such apps.

    Unwanted App - where is it?

    If it's a UWP app (Store app) then you can try here:

    whilst everything installed is listed here:

    If that means you were using a browser, there may be a download record.
