I know this has been discussed on many websites and forums but I still have an issue removing the default built-in Windows 10 apps. I'm referring to the "modern apps" or "UWP apps".
This kind of annoys me because I don't use any of these apps and I am a minimalist so I like to keep things tidy and only keep installed what I use.
So to start I disabled Store and updating of apps in the registry as follows:
If I run Get-AppXPackage I have many dozens of these apps installed. Before anyone asks, yes, I have tried running:
Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage
On another website I follow one of the well known members posted a copy of the output of his machine and this is how it looked:
This is what I would like to aim for. How can I achieve this?
I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise 1709.
