How to add / remove XPS Viewer application in Windows 10
The XPS Viewer application allows you to read, copy, print, sign and authorize XPS documents.
Microsoft is changing the way you get the XPS Viewer. In Windows 10 version 1709 and earlier, the application is included in the installation image. If you have XPS Viewer and updated to Windows 10 version 1803, no action is required. You will still have the XPS Viewer.
However, if you install Windows 10 version 1803 on a new device (or as a 'clean' installation), you may need to install XPS Viewer. If you already have XPS Viewer in Windows 10 version 1709, but manually deleted it before updating, you will need to reinstall it manually.
This guide will show you how to add (install) or delete (uninstall) the XPS Viewer application to all users in Windows 10.
