Microsoft has now introduced native support for uninstalling both Win32 apps and Microsoft Store apps through the Windows Company Portal.

To utiliZe this feature, end-users can uninstall Win32 apps and Microsoft Store apps if these apps were assigned as available and installed on-demand by the end-users themselves. For Win32 apps, users have the option to enable or disable this feature, although it is turned off by default.
