Bye bye Microsoft Teams Chat.

Looks like Microsoft will soon let us rid our Windows 11 PCs of the Microsoft Teams Chat feature, which is currently impossible to uninstall. Microsoft appears to be reacting to concerns over a potential antitrust investigation from the European Commission, after complaints were made by several companies over Teams being just too damn prevalent.

We've all been subject to bloatware. For companies like Microsoft, with a near-enough a monopoly on a PC gamer's operating system, making apps impossible to uninstall from your OS is a clever tactic to get you using their lesser known products... or at least make it look like people are using it when they're really not. explains, it's currently possible to unpin Teams Chat from your Windows 11 taskbar in the settings menu, but you can't fully uninstall it.

Soon, though, it looks like you'll be able to remove it from your system entirely, rather than just toggling it off in the settings. The giveaway? Windows 11 Preview builds from May include references to a"RemoveChat" feature, which totally wipes the software from the system, including any mentions of it ever having existed.

Since Teams Chat comes bundled with a bunch of frankly necessary Microsoft products, other communications companies have been getting a little irate about Microsoft's clever competitive edge.
