[QUOTE="forgottenuser79643, post: 950933, member: 88069"] If you don't mind doing some research into Windows commands through PowerShell. You can create your own empty environment legally during- or post-installation with just one self written (PowerShell) script. During the installation enter Audit mode or post-installation run it from a (temp.) Admin account. In the case of the latter, entering a temporary admin account makes it the default modified environment for any accounts subsequently created thereafter (having run the script). [SPOILER="unrelated-addition"]I personally have written the script to run to only remove apps adhere to the conditions of: A. Non-removeable is set to false (internal tag in powershell commands) B.
