Are you looking to uninstall Windows 3D Viewer from your computer? Whether you don't use the program or want to free up space on your system, it's a relatively simple process to remove the application. Here's a step-by-step guide to uninstalling Windows 3D Viewer from your Windows 10 computer.
1. Open the 'Start' menu and click on 'Settings' (the gear icon).
2. In the 'Settings' window, select 'Apps' to open the list of installed applications on your computer.
3. Scroll down the list of apps until you find '3D Viewer' or 'Windows 3D Viewer'.
4. Click on '3D Viewer' to expand the options, and then select 'Uninstall'.
5. A confirmation pop-up will appear, asking if you are sure you want to uninstall the program. Click 'Uninstall' to confirm.
After following these steps, Windows 3D Viewer will be uninstalled from your computer. It's important to note that uninstalling the application will remove the program from your system, but it may not remove any 3D model file associations that were set up during the initial installation. If you want to remove these file associations as well, you can follow these additional steps:
1. Right-click on a 3D model file (such as .obj or .fbx) that you want to disassociate from Windows 3D Viewer.
2. Select 'Open with' and then 'Choose another app'.
3. In the 'How do you want to open this file?' window, select a different program to open the file (e.g., Paint 3D or another 3D modeling software).
4. Check the box that says 'Always use this app to open .obj files' (or the file type of your choice).
5. Click 'OK' to save the changes and disassociate the file from Windows 3D Viewer.
By following these steps, you can ensure that Windows 3D Viewer is completely uninstalled from your computer and that any associated file types are redirected to the program of your choice. This can help to free up space on your system and remove unnecessary features that you no longer use.
Remember, if you ever change your mind and want to reinstall Windows 3D Viewer, you can always download it again from the Microsoft Store or through the Windows Features settings. But for now, enjoy the extra space and streamlined system without this particular application!
