We've bought two laptops recently that pop-up a window like this every single time you boot up the computer:

I've found "Alexa" in the "Apps & features" section of Settings, and clicked "Uninstall" — but after rebooting, the window is still popping up.

How do we disable this permanently?

From leeharvey1's comment:

A) Launch PowerShell as an administrator and run below command:

Win10:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | where Name -Like *Alexa* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage –online | where DisplayName -Like *Alexa* | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online #Removes it from default profile

Win11: (added -AllUsers to Remove-AppxPackage)

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | where Name -Like *Alexa* | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers

B) Alternatively, launch PowerShell normally (not admin)

Get-AppxPackage | where Name -Like *Alexa* | Remove-AppxPackage

Additionally, you may want to launch taskmanager and look at startup tab - you may find some unexpected programs there that are set to automatically start up. Ideally yod would uninstall them, but usually can disable them from there.

Tested in Windows 11.

Do this:

Start / Settings / Apps / Startup

Turn off 'AlexaBuilt-in'
