When you visit the Microsoft store and download
apps (applications) a record of that download is
recorded by Windows. The record is there is case you
uninstall the app and, at a later time, wish to
re-install it.
While this is a useful feature, not every user
wants a complete history of every single app they
have installed on their PC. If you happen to be one
of those users then there is a simple way of
deleting app installation history.
To remove app installation history, proceed as
follows:
- Press Win Key + I to open the Settings
screen.

hand side of the Window.
- In the App switching section, click the
