For an average Windows enjoyer, the “Get Started” app is probably the least used stock program in Windows 11 (if not the one they never use). Sadly, unlike many other stock applications that are now easily uninstallable, you cannot just get rid of the “Get Started” app. However, things may change in the near future, at least in Windows Server 2025.
PhantomOfEarth on X observed that the Windows Server 2025 Insider Preview build 26244 allows users to hide the “Get Started” app, which likely has limited utility in the server context. Similarly, certain sections of the Settings app may also be hidden. Microsoft might soon hide the “Nearby Share” page:

*they require some of the “primary control” features for feature bundles which are disabled by default, specifically 48433706 and 50556886
It will be intriguing to observe if these changes make their way to the consumer editions of Windows 11. While the Nearby Share settings are undoubtedly beneficial in home environments, it’s probable that very few users will miss the “Get Started” app once it is removed. Windows 11 previously had an app dedicated to tips and tricks, but Microsoft deprecated it, and the app is set to be removed from the operating system soon.
For those unfamiliar, “Get Started” is part of the Windows Feature Experience Pack, which is why it is hard to remove it from the operating system without breaking other things.
