I see Microsoft is at it again... forcing new UNINSTALLABLE apps in the latest update (Sept 26/2023) to us... What the heck is Dev Home (Preview) and what does it do and how can you get rid of it???

If you had Dev Home (Preview) installed during the September 26/2023 update and don't want it...

I did a lot of seaching, I found a way to get rid of it...

A - To uninstall Dev Home Preview, you can follow the steps below:

Open the Settings app.

Click on Apps.

Scroll down and locate Dev Home Preview.

Click on it and select Uninstall.

B - If you are unable to uninstall Dev Home Preview using the above method, you can try using PowerShell to remove it. Here are the steps:

Open PowerShell (Terminal) as an administrator.

Type 

Get-AppxPackage *devhome* | Remove-AppxPackage

and press Enter.

This should remove Dev Home Preview from your device.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

B worked perfectly for me... doing that removed it from the Start Menu... Microsoft Store and Settings - Apps

    I just hate Windows 11 in general. It is so difficult to use and it deleted or prevents me from using programs that I always used like editing photos. I am in the process of going back to Windows 10. Going to get a few extra copies of it for the future. Wish Windows would let me stop updates before they do them. Now we can only pause. Going to have to do Plan B. Thanks for the help and letting me vent some.
