Uninstall AppX app

Get-AppxPackage -Name *skype* | Remove-AppxPackage

Computer

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Name *skype* | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers

If this fails, you can try deleting the app folders from %PROGRAMFILES%\WindowsApps as the TrustedInstaller user, for example with WinAero Tweaker, ExecTi, or PsExec. You may want to back them up in case reinstallation is difficult.

New users

Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | where PackageName -like *zune* | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online

Using DISM:

dism /Online /Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackageName:"Microsoft.ZuneMusic_11.2403.5.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe"

Windows 11 Widgets (widgets.exe and widgetservice.exe) can be uninstalled by removing the MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience AppX package. This is more effective than setting HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Dsh\IsPreLaunchEnabled=0 because that only kills the msedgewebview2.exe child processes, not the the aforementioned parent processes.
