How to Uninstall Groove Music From Windows 10
Groove Music is the default music player that comes pre-installed in Windows 10. It also offers music streaming via subscription or purchase through the Windows Store. However, Microsoft did an excellent job revamping the old Xbox Music app and launching it along with a new name “Groove Music”. But still most of the Windows users don’t really find it suitable for their daily use. Most of the Windows users are still comfortable using VLC Media Player as their default music app as well. And that’s why they want to uninstall Groove Music from Windows 10 completely too.
The only problem is that you guys can’t uninstall Groove Music from Uninstall a program window or via simply right-tapping and selecting uninstall. While most of the apps can be removed through this method. Unfortunately, Groove Music comes bundled along with Windows 10, and Microsoft doesn’t want you to uninstall it.
