In this guide, we will be discussing whether or not you could uninstall the Windows Backup app from your Windows 11 PC. Irrespective of the operating system, preloading bloatware and preinstalled apps is never a welcome move from the user’s point of view.

How to Uninstall Windows Backup in Windows 11
As infuriating as it may sound, but in its current state, you cannot uninstall the Windows Backup app from your Windows 11 PC.

With that said, we did some further investigation [usign our beloved Registry Editor] and found out that ‘Windows Backup’ is part of the Windows Client CBS.
Not to mention the fact that some users have reported that Backup is not a standalone app but rather it’s part of the ‘Windows Feature Experience Pack. Well, whatever it is, the fact that one cannot uninstall this Backup app from their Windows 11 PC is surely going to ruffle a few feathers, and understandably so.
