Windows 10 introduces many new features and improvements, including built-in 3D support, which allows you to create and share content in a whole new dimension.

While Paint 3D is a great app, it's not something to use in the 3D world. If you are not interested in creating 3D objects, you can uninstall the application from Windows 10. The only problem is that the uninstall button is not available in the Settings application. However, you can get rid of Paint 3D using PowerShell and tweak the registry so you don't accidentally reinstall it.

In this we will tell you How to completely uninstall Paint 3D app included in the designer update.

How to uninstall Paint 3D app

Paint 3D is one of the built-in apps in Windows 10 that cannot be uninstalled, at least by clicking the uninstall button. If you want to uninstall this app, you need to use several cmdlets (commands) in PowerShell.

To remove Paint 3D from Windows 10, follow these steps:

After executing the command, the application will be removed from Windows 10, if you get an error, then most likely you typed the command incorrectly or you are starting PowerShell without administrator rights.

How to remove Paint 3D from the context menu

While using the uninstaller should completely remove the application and its components, you will notice that after getting rid of Paint 3D, the "Edit with Paint 3D" option will still appear in the right-click context menu for image files.

This shouldn't be a big problem, but if you accidentally click Edit with Paint 3D, the app will automatically reinstall itself. If you want to avoid this inconvenience, you need to remove the entry from the context menu so that the app does not return to Windows 10.

After you have completed these steps, you can right-click and the .jpeg file and you will no longer see the "Edit with Paint 3D" entry in the context menu.

The above instructions allow you to remove "Edit with Paint 3D" from the context menu for files .jpeg... However, you can get rid of the entry for other image file formats, and for this you will need to repeat the same steps, but replace in the registry path .jpeg on .bmp, .jpg, .jpe, .png, .gif, .tiff and .tif and then delete the folder 3D Edit for each.

Windows 10 still ships with both versions of the app, which means that once you uninstall Paint 3D, you'll have access to the classic one for editing or creating images. If needed, you can always get the Paint 3D app from the Windows Store - just hit the Install button and you're ready to go.

When working with a presentation, things can often turn around in such a way that trivial error correction takes on a global scale. And you have to erase the results with whole slides. But there are a lot of nuances that should be considered when deleting presentation pages so that the irreparable does not happen.

First, you should consider the main ways to remove slides, and then you can focus on the nuances of this process. As in any other system where all the elements are strictly interconnected, problems can occur here. But more on that later, now - methods.

Method 1: Removal

The deletion method is the only one, and it is also the main one (apart from deleting the presentation altogether - this is also, in fact, capable of destroying slides).

In the list on the left side, you need to right-click and open the menu. In it you need to select the option "Delete slide"... Alternatively, you can simply select a slide and press the button. "Del".

The result has been achieved, the page is now gone.

The action can be undone by pressing the undo combination - "Ctrl" + "Z", or by clicking on the corresponding button in the program header.

The slide will return to its original form.

Method 2: Concealment

There is an option not to delete the slide, but to make it unavailable for direct viewing in demo mode.

In the same way, you need to right-click on the slide and bring up a menu. Here you will need to select the last option - "Hide slide".

This page in the list will immediately stand out against the background of others - the image itself will become fainter, and the number will be crossed out.

The presentation will ignore this slide when viewed, showing the pages following it in order. In this case, the hidden area will save all the data entered on it and can be interactive.

Removal nuances

Now it is worth considering certain subtleties that you need to know when deleting a slide.

• The deleted page remains in the application cache until a version without it is saved and the program is closed. If you close the program without saving changes after erasing, then the slide will return to its place when you restart it. It also follows that if the file is damaged for some reason and was not saved after sending the slide to the trash, it can be restored using software that repairs "broken" presentations.
• Deleting slides can break and malfunction interactive elements. This is especially true for macros and hyperlinks. If the links were to specific slides, then they will simply become inactive. If addressing was carried out "To the next slide", then instead of the remote one, the command will transfer to the one that was behind it. And vice versa for "To previous".
• If you try to restore a healthy, pre-saved presentation using the appropriate software, you may be able to retrieve some content from deleted pages with some success. The fact is that some components could remain in the cache and not be cleaned from there for one reason or another. Most often this applies to inserted text elements, small pictures.
• If the deleted slide was technical and there were certain objects on it, with which components on other pages were linked, then this can also lead to errors. This is especially true for table bindings. For example, if the edited table was located on such a technical slide, and its display was on another, then deleting the source will deactivate the child table.
• When restoring a slide after deletion, it always takes place in the presentation according to its ordinal number, which was available before the deletion. For example, if the frame was the fifth in a row, then it will return to the fifth position, shifting all subsequent ones.

The nuances of hiding

Now it only remains to list the individual subtleties of hiding slides.

• The hidden slide is not shown when you view the presentation sequentially. However, if you make a hyperlink to it using an element, when viewed, the transition is performed and the slide can be seen.
• The hidden slide is fully functional, so this is very often the technical section.
• If you place musical accompaniment on such a sheet and configure it to work in the background, the music will not turn on even after passing this section.

Paperpoint instead of your home (start) page or the appearance of this site when you open a new tab - this is a sign that your browser settings have been changed. Most often, in addition, paperpoint also replaces the search engine of the infected browser so that all your searches from Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer are redirected to this fake search engine. Thus, you can be forced to look at a specific advertising site, collect statistics on what you are looking for on the Internet, which sites you go to. In the future, this information can be sold.

During system infection, paperpoint infection can change not only the settings of your browsers, such as home page and search engine, but also change their shortcuts. Thus, such malware can infect almost all types of browsers, including Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, 360 Chrome, Sogou Explorer, Opera, Safari, Maxthon, QQ Browser, Baidu Browser, TheWorld Browser, Liebao, Tencent Traveler.

Therefore, you must always be very careful about what you are going to download from the Internet! After starting the downloaded program, at the installation stage, carefully read all messages. Do not rush to click the Agree or Agree button in the window that contains the user agreement. Be sure to read it carefully. When installing any programs, try to select the Advanced (Custom) item, that is, to fully control what will be installed and where. Thus, you can avoid potentially unnecessary and adware programs entering your PC. And most importantly, never install something that you don't trust!

Microsoft Office is a useful software package with which users can work with text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, email services and more. PowerPoint is also included in the list of Microsoft office applications, but sometimes it becomes necessary to remove it. How to do it?

How to delete an unwanted slide in PowerPoint

Users who often use an office program to create presentations may notice that unnecessary slides have appeared in the file list. Unknowingly, some users simply uninstall the program itself, and then reinstall it. To remove slides from your computer, it is recommended to follow the instructions:

1. To get started, launch the tool for working with slides.
2. Next, find a presentation that contains unnecessary files and open it.
3. You will need to select the unnecessary slide and click on it.
4. A preview window should appear on the screen, including two sections ("Structure" and "Slides").
5. The display must be switched to the second option.
6. The right mouse button clicks on the component that needs to be cleared.
7. Confirm this action in the drop-down menu using the "Delete slide" command.

After you clear and save your changes, the slide will disappear from your presentation forever. It will be possible to restore the deleted file using the "Undo" command only if the user has not saved the changes made.

Uninstallation using standard methods

Experimenting with office programs can cause them to stop running or not work properly. In this case, reinstalling the application is the best option. The reason why a user wants to uninstall PowerPoint 2007 or any other Office tool, be it Word or Excel, may be that they do not need to use it.

The easiest way is to uninstall the entire office suite of programs, but it should be borne in mind that Microsoft Word, Excel and others will also disappear. The step-by-step instructions are as follows:

1. You need to open the "Start" menu and select the "Control Panel" section.
2. Next, you will need to select the "Uninstall Programs" or "Programs and Features" tab.
3. A list of all installed applications will open, including Microsoft Office.
4. After clicking on it with the left mouse button, the "Delete" button will appear above the list.
5. After activating it, the process of removing Office programs from your computer will begin, including PowerPoint will be uninstalled.

If uninstallation via the Control Panel fails, it is recommended to try another method. A good helper in this matter is Easy Fix, which was developed by Microsoft. You can launch it directly from your browser by clicking on the link you need. For Office 2013 and 2016, the address is https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501, and for earlier versions, the transition must be made at https://support.microsoft.com/kb/971179/ru. The utility automatically detects errors, and then cleans up all components related to MS Office. The uninstall process with Easy Fix takes longer, but it is more reliable and efficient.

Using special utilities

If standard methods do not help, it is recommended to use special utilities, for example, Microsoft Office Suite Removal Tool. Using this tool, you can uninstall PowerPoint 2010 (including later and earlier versions) or the entire office suite at once. It should be noted that if some components were installed separately from the entire package, they cannot be uninstalled.

The main advantage of the utility is its portability. you do not need to install it. All you need to do is launch the program and follow the advice and tips of the Wizard. Due to its portability, the utility can be stored on a USB flash drive or CD. After the uninstall operation is completed, the application will ask you to restart the computer.

The office suite can be easily removed using any Uninstaller, for example, Revo. To do this, you need to do the following:

1. Run the Revo Uninstaller utility.
2. Find the desired name in the list of programs.
3. Then you should click on it with the left mouse button, in the main application panel, select the "Delete" command.
4. To confirm, it will remain to click the "OK" button and wait until the uninstallation process is completed.

Experts recommend removing the entire office suite at once. If you need to uninstall PowerPoint, it's best to uninstall all of Microsoft Office and then reinstall it using only the tools you need.

If you no longer need an image, such as a photo, screenshot, drawing, or other graphic, you can remove it from your PowerPoint presentation. Removing pictures in front of other objects is usually straightforward, but pictures can also appear in the back, on master slides, or used as backgrounds.

Remove image from all slides

If your PowerPoint presentation uses an image that appears on all slides, you will need to remove it from the slide master.

Removing an image behind other objects

If the image you want to remove is hidden under other items and you cannot click it, use selection area to place the picture on top of other elements so that you can delete it.

In the tab home in a group Editing select teams Highlight > Selection area.

Select the image on the slide and press the DELETE key.

Advice: V selection areas you can also temporarily hide the object by clicking the eye icon.

Note: Layer names in selection areas may not match the order of the objects. If you don't know which layer is correct, click the eye icon to the right of each layer at the top of the screen to hide each layer until you find the one you want.
