How to uninstall Feedback Hub on Windows 10
Windows 10 has long had an app for reporting bugs and feature improvements. This app is called the Feedback hub and it is actively monitored by Microsoft. Often, suggestions made by users are incorporated in the OS. Additionally, users have the option to ‘vote’ on a suggested feature and give it better visibility. A feature request, or bug with a lot of votes, is more likely to be picked up/fixed by Microsoft.
Uninstall Feedback Hub
The Feedback Hub on Windows 10 is present on all systems, regardless if a user is enrolled in the Insider program or not. It’s meant for all Windows 10 users but it isn’t a core app. If you do not use it, you can remove it from the system.
There are several different ways to uninstall the Feedback Hub.
1. Uninstall Feedback Hub – Start Menu
The Feedback Hub can be uninstalled from the Start Menu.

Conclusion
Most users do not use the Feedback Hub. You’re likely to see a notification from this app before you open it and submit something. That said, if you ever encounter a problem, a persistent one that prevents you from working, the Feedback Hub is a good place to report it. The hub won’t provide a solution for you. It will however highlight the issue and it’s a great way to let Microsoft know there is a problem with Windows 10. On that note, if you’re looking for a solution to a problem online, and someone has reported it to the Feedback Hub, take the time to vote for it.
