Windows 10 programs and features. Launching uninstallation of a program from the Start menu

The system can be expanded third party programs, and then delete them. Some applications can be put into startup, given priority, or blocked from installation. You can also designate the location where all programs will be installed by default.

Managing installed programs

operating room Windows system 10, although it differs from previous versions in greater functionality, it also contains familiar tools and services.

Control Panel in Windows 10

In Windows 10, as in earlier versions, there is standard program, through which you can uninstall and manage third-party applications.

Uninstalling an application

To remove programs from your computer, you can use the uninstall file, which is usually located in the folder with the installed program. But this file is not always provided by the developer, so you can perform this action through the “Control Panel”. While in the “Remove Programs” subsection, select one of the applications and click on the “Delete” button, after which the removal wizard will open, follow its instructions to remove unnecessary programs from your computer.

Prioritization

By giving priority to a program, you can set the percentage of computer performance that will be given to it relative to other programs. For example, if you have two browsers running simultaneously, then the one with higher priority will consume more resources and, accordingly, work faster.

Activating program startup

By adding an application to startup, you will ensure that it will start on its own every time you turn on the computer. This is convenient if you use some kind of program every time you interact with a computer. The disadvantage of this method is the load on the computer: startup programs slow down the system startup and subsequently overload it.

Prohibition on installation of programs

Deny installation specific program standard Windows methods will not work. The only way to limit access to program installation is to create a new account without administrator rights. Since almost all applications are installed as an administrator, since they make changes to the main partition hard drive, an ordinary user will not be able to use them.

If you need full control over the new account, then you can create it with the status “For a child”. In this type of account, all actions are sent to the administrator account, from which you can set additional restrictions, including on the use of certain applications.

1. While in your computer settings, go to the “Accounts” block.
   In "Windows Settings" go to the "Accounts" section
2. Select the “Family and other users” sub-item and click on the “Add family member” button.
   Click the “Add Family Member” button
3. In the next step, indicate that you are creating an account for your child.
   We indicate that the account is for a child, click “Next”
4. Fill in all the required data and confirm the action.
   Fill in the fields “Last name”, “First name”, e-mail, click “Next”
5. Go to the official website Microsoft, log in and proceed to editing family settings.
   Log in to the Microsoft website and go to family settings
6. In the “Applications and Games” block you can set a ban on some programs. You can only block applications that have already been launched at least once.
   Block access to some applications if necessary

Changing the location of installed programs

To change the default location for new applications to be installed, follow these steps:

The system does not allow you to install the application

Sometimes when you try to install an application, you may see a message stating that the program may be dangerous for the system, and you cannot continue the process. In this case, there are two options: the program being installed is really dangerous, check it with an antivirus to make sure it is safe, or, if you are confident in the reliability of the program, disable Windows Defender - the built-in antivirus that prevents you from installing. Remember that this may lead to adverse consequences.

To temporarily disable Defender, open the task manager, find Windows process Defender and complete it. This will pause the defender for 10-15 minutes, then it will start again. During this time you will have time to install the program.

There may be another reason why the system does not allow you to install the application: the installation file does not have a registered license that guarantees its safety. This should also cause you concern: safe programs, most likely would have received a certificate. At your own risk, you can bypass the system ban by disabling the UAC (User Account Control) check. Please note that to do this you need to be logged in as an administrator.

Why do apps take a long time to install and how to fix it

The reasons why a particular program takes a long time to install can be different:

• the installation file is damaged or is intended for a different system capacity;
• the computer or some of its components are overloaded with an abundance of running processes, programs or tasks in progress, so very little productivity is allocated to the installation;
• the hard drive is full and the installed program cannot find a place for itself;
• the hard drive is divided into incorrectly located cells;
• if the problem occurs with large applications, then the process may be slowed down by the antivirus, since during installation it simultaneously scans all files added to the system.

So the main reason long installations- weak, overloaded or broken computer components or unoptimized installation files.

In most cases, deleting will help. unnecessary programs from startup, as stated earlier. Removing unnecessary programs and defragmenting the disk can also help speed up your computer. You should also disable your antivirus during installation so that it does not slow down your work.

Programs in Windows 10 can be installed, uninstalled, added to startup and given priority. If the system does not allow you to install or launch the application, then disable the built-in antivirus and certificate checking. When working with programs, remember to monitor the load they place on your computer.

Windows 10, in terms of managing the installation/removal of programs, is, in principle, not much different from previous builds, but there are still some nuances: for example, an updated uninstaller tool has been added, which now launches with lightning speed through “Add or Remove Programs.”

...however, questions immediately arise: where is the installation and removal of Windows 10 programs? which one is the best quick way get into this control panel component.?. and, of course, the most important question that worries the minds of dozens of users is how to properly delete Windows programs 10, so that everything is clean and without errors after the uninstallation has completed (when the program is removed).

Let's look at it... and explain it side by side:

Text by points:

Where is the Add/Remove Programs section in Windows 10?

notes for:

in Windows 10, as in other systems, there is a built-in “search” on the taskbar Windows components- in order to find any instrument in the richest composition of dozens, simply type the name of the required element in the search field. If the name is entered correctly, then in 99% of cases it will be found. All you have to do is click on the link you found and go where you need to go...

You should also be aware of the fact that most programs installed on your computer create their own folder in “All Applications” - in this folder there is a shortcut that moves to the Windows desktop for quick launch program, and also in this folder, along with a shortcut, there is a so-called uninstall file like uninstall.exe - if you click on this file, the uninstallation process will start - that is, the removal of a specific program!

...and you can open it in the following simple way:

In the search - on the taskbar - type the phrase “Control Panel”, the system will immediately display the result - all we have to do is select the required item.

But there is a nuance here: pay attention to the “View” settings item (circled in brown) - if, for example, you, like me, have the option to display the “Categories” control panel set, then in the “Programs” option select “Uninstall a program”.

...if “Icons” is set, then in this case we select “Programs and Features”...

We desperately click on the required items...

...in the program and component settings item, everything is simple: to remove some program that is unnecessary for you and me - 1 - find it in the list... press the right mouse button and click on “Delete”, or you can quickly click on the top section of the menu , as shown in the screenshot below, Delete/edit...
