If the 3D Builder app isn't for you, in this guide, we'll show you the steps to remove it while preventing from accidentally installing it back on Windows 10.

Windows 10 isn't only about new features and improvements. It's also about an operating system that focuses on apps. As Microsoft keeps updating the OS, you might have noticed that they are regularly replacing old apps with new modern ones and adding whole new apps.
One of these new default apps is the new 3D Builder app, which was designed to create, edit, and print 3D models to a 3D printer. However, even though 3D printers are now more affordable, not everyone has one nor needs to use the 3D Builder app.
If you don't have an use for the 3D Builder app ? like with other built-in apps ? you can uninstall it from Windows 10. But there is a little problem: merely uninstalling the app will leave behind the "3D Print with 3D Builder" option in the context menu for .bmp, .jpg, and .png file extensions. And if you click the option by accident, the 3D Builder app will reinstall automatically. Fortunately there is a workaround to prevent this from happening.
