Is there a way to prevent Microsoft account integration when removing applications from my Windows 11 computer?

Yes, there is a way to prevent Microsoft account integration when removing applications from your Windows 11 computer. To accomplish this, you can use the built-in Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt instead of the Settings app or Microsoft Store, which usually prompts for Microsoft account interaction.

Here’s how to uninstall apps using PowerShell:

1. Press Win + X and choose Windows PowerShell (Admin) or Windows Terminal (Admin) from the context menu.
2. In the PowerShell window, enter the following command to display the list of installed apps:

“`
Get-AppxPackage | Select-Object Name, PackageFullName
“`

3. Find the PackageFullName of the application you want to remove and copy it.
4. Uninstall the app using the following command, replacing “PackageFullName” with the copied name:

“`
Remove-AppxPackage -Package “PackageFullName”
“`

5. The application will be uninstalled without requiring any Microsoft account interaction.

By using this method, you can bypass Microsoft account integration while uninstalling applications on your Windows 11 computer.
