In the latest version of Windows, there are several available functions at once, and only universal is suitable for "seven". By efficiency, these options do not differ from each other, since actually all actions perform the same tool, so you can choose absolutely any.

Option 1: Windows 10 Tools

The list of all programs in Windows 10 can be found in the standard "Parameters" application, where the tool allows you to remove any of them. We advise you to apply it to get rid of the discord, spending the minimum amount of time.
