    They show when you select the tab "Windows Apps"

    And Ccleaner is not an uninstaller
     
  5. Try your level best to remove "Get Started" will result in broken start menu.

    hint : just a single package removal will remove get started

    thatswhy Mr.X n myself was laughing on your query .

    Already went there, it doesn't appear.

    But CCleaner can also remove apps and programs.

    You were laughing about a different subject.

    Already did. It looks like it doesn't appear there as well as in HiBit Uninstaller.
     
  9. then what about this subject . dont you already know that it will result in broken start menu even if you have any third party start menu installed on your os even then start menu wont work.

    by the way if you want tio get rid of get-started then revert back to win 10 or either win7 with no bloatware.

    No. I didn't see it with my own eyes. Where can I find the package removal?

    I don't have Windows 11 on any of my computers at the moment, I only have it on one hard drive in the shelf, but am I really misremembering that in Windows 11 you can't remove it as easily because it's not a standalone package? I remember that the "Get Started" app is part of a much bigger and fundamental System App MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS
    Windows Feature Experience Pack.
    So far people who have attempted to remove this app find Windows to become unstable and/or missing other vital features.
    Check if it's on the list. Open Powershell as administrator and then use this code
    Code:
    Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Format-Table DisplayName, PackageName

    It doesn't appear there. Also, I didn't know it could break something.

    Try in english.

    After going to Image Management, it states: "Insert a Windows Disc/ISO/USB to Import Installation/Boot-Media." and "Press (Enter) to Return to Previous Menu".
