How can I remove/reinstall a Metro app manually?

The weather app Bing on my Surface seems to be in a particular State:

  • It is not present on the start screen (and is not executable).
  • The store is of the opinion that the application is installed (he says: "You have this app" and gives no option to install, etc..).

Using the PowerShell cmdlet:

  • Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.BingWeather reveals that it is installed, at least somehow:

Name: Microsoft.BingWeather
Publisher: CN = Microsoft Corporation, O = Microsoft Corporation, L is Redmond, S = Washington, C = US
Architecture: arm
Resource ID:
Version: 1.5.1.245
PackageFullName: Microsoft.BingWeather_1.5.1.245_arm__8wekyb3d8bbwe
InstallLocation: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.BingWeather_1.5.1.245_arm__8wekyb3d8bbwe
IsFramework: false
PackageFamilyName: Microsoft.BingWeather_8wekyb3d8bbwe
PublisherId: 8wekyb3d8bbwe

  • Remove AppxPackage Microsoft.BingWeather fails, saying that it is not installed:

You must use the full name of the package.

Use Get-AppxPackage, and then copy the PackageFullName and use it in the command Remove-AppxPackage.

  • How can I remove a 10 iOS app? There is no mention that a menu

    How can I remove a 10 iOS app?

    All 10 iOS did when I press and hold, is to bring up a menu - which is a feature new, unexpected and undesirable new iOS operating system 10. This action is used to make the icons to move, I could press the "x" on the app, and it has been deleted. Now, I get a menu, without any option to delete.

    Help would be appreciated

    Post edited by: Grace Hope
    I just thought about it - you must maintain the App "slightly" and then move the icons, and you can press the 'x' to remove the application. If you push hard and here, the menu useless appears - lack of vision of Steve Jobs to Apple... he really wants this App menu? Without disabling option - the only thing I see is maybe turn off touch 3D, but I have not yet tried this plan.

    Tactile 3D power off will solve the problem. You can also try setting the sensitivity of touch 3D cabinet so that there is a major difference between a light and press tap. Tactile 3D can also just take some time to get used to. I struggled for the first week with building accidentally instead of tapping, but now I'm a pro at home. To access the tactile 3D settings, go to settings > general > accessibility > scroll to the 3D button.

  • How can I remove the instant tv app

    I bought the TV app now and then I realized it was the sky. How can I remove it and make sure that I have not purchased a subscription. Will I be charged monthly subscription fees if I do not use it.

    Kim Hatton

    You can archive your subscriptions:

    Settings-> accounts-> subscription-> manage subscriptions. and see if you have a subscription to this App, unlikely that you would have to accept the terms and conditions and provide your password for the subscription to buy. It doesn't happen automatically.

    View, change or cancel your subscription - Apple Support

    To remove the application, it just press and hold on it until all the applications start to shake and then press the Play/Pause button to bring up the menu, then select Remove from the menu.

  • How can I remove the Adobe Tracker app?

    How can I remove Adobe Tracker from my PC?

    I do not use the Tracker, but let me give a try to address my thoughts. First of all a manual is available at https://wwwimages2.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/acrobat_tracker.pdf.

    My answer is based on a PC. I expect something similar in a MAC, but have no idea how to do to access certain items there.

    I would check for tracker as an application running in the list of tasks (ctrl-alt-del). If you see, note the name of the element and as so you can turn it off. Then you can try to kill him in the list of tasks. Displacement at the start > run and type msconfig and enter. In services and splash screens, through the search for similar Adobe products running. Note that AcroTray under Startup should not be disabled, it provides the process of your printer. On this machine, I have the AcroTray and Gamma Loader running at the start of Adobe. Flash is also running as a service. See if you can find something related to the tracker it and just turn it off.

    Hope ideas help. Basically, it's the process that I would take if I couldn't find a disable in the software itself.
