Windows 10 Can I uninstall "Mail and Calendar", "Store" and "MsOffice Desktop"?

[pstein]

Can I uninstall (permanently) from my Win10 system:

- "Mail and Calendar" (I want to use Thunderbird email client instead)
- "Store" and "Wallet" (I never want to install Apps+Programs from MS Store)
- "Microsoft.Office.Desktop" (I want to use LibreOffice resp. an older version of MS Office instead)
- "Microsoft Windows.SoundRecorder" and "Microsoft.WindowsCamera" (I want to use different Non-Microsoft camera+soundrecording tools)

Does any of the mentioned Apps cause a harm to 3rd-party programs (with a similar functionality)?

Does for example an uninstall of "Microsoft.WindowsCamera" also remove the driver of the notebook camera so that other cameras tool
cannot use it any more?

Can re-install them at least later again?

You can do two things. Remove them from your user profile and uninstall them.

You would use the Powershell command Remove-AppxPackage to remove it from your profile and Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage to completely remove it from all profiles

You can simply set your default programs and leave the modern apps there as they won't interfere with anything and take up very little resource.

Yes they can be re-installed.
