how to uninstall Microsoft office store apps completely

Leave a reply

Run Powershell as admin;

Get-AppxPackage | Select Name, PackageFullName

Then

Get-AppxPackage PackageFullName | Remove-AppxPackage

I.e Note: This below 4 commands works with new windows 10 build 1803 which has pre-installed Microsoft Office 365

Get-AppxPackage -allusers *officehub* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage -allusers *Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage -allusers *Microsoft.Office.Desktop* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage -allusers *Microsoft.Office.OneNote* | Remove-AppxPackage

And this below commands works with old windows 10 build i guess

get-appxpackage *officehub* | remove-appxpackage

Or

Get-AppxPackage -allusers PackageFullName | Remove-AppxPackage

Or

Get-AppxPackage -user username PackageFullName | Remove-AppxPackage

This should do it.

Then How do I get rid of “let’s get started” activation page after activation?

After your office has been activated please follow this steps carefully to get rid of the activation pop up.

Step-by-step instructions:

  1. Open any of the Office package (MS Word, MS Excel etc)
  2. Close the activation screen but not MS Word which is currently opened.
  3. On the Start menu, click Run.
  4. Type regedit, and then press Enter.
  5. Locate and select the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\OEM
  6. Right-click the OEM value, and then click Export or File Export
  7. Save the subkey with any name but preferably “subkey” without ” “.
  8. After the subkey is backed up, click Delete (the whole folder named OEM on the left pane) or click on the individual subkeys found on the right hand side when you select OEM and select Edit and Delete. Note selecting the OEM folder on the left side is faster and easier to do than deleting the individual

  9. Repeat steps 3-6 for the following key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\OEM

  10. Close the Registry Editor and start Office again.
  11. Exit Registry Editor
  12. Close Office and open again.
