Installing and configuring the application^

before I describe how to remove all built-in applications, I must explain the differences between the installed and configured applications. This difference applies only to new touch-optimized applications that Microsoft now call Windows applications.

You may have noticed that whenever a user logs on to a Windows 10 computer for the first time, Windows will start installing the application for that particular user. These applications are configured applications. Similarly, if a user installs a new application from the Windows store, the application applies only to that user.

Therefore, all applications that a specific user can run are applications that are installed by the user. on the other hand, the configured application is lurking in the background of the system and will only work if the new user logs on.

if you want to ensure that Windows users install only one application or any application when they log on for the first time, you must remove all configured applications, that is, the appx package must be de-configured.

If you are just Uninstall It is not really helpful to run all the applications of Sysprep users . In fact, you must also uninstall all applications that are not configured for all users; Otherwise, Sysprep will fail.

Remove the configured application^

Before you can delete a configured application, you may need to get the list first:

1	Get-appxprovisionedpackage -Online | Select packagename

List all configured Windows 10 applications

At an elevated PowerShell prompt, you can use the following command to delete an application that you do not want in the reference image:

1	remove-appxprovisionedpackage -online -packagename < Packagename>

Also, to remove all configured applications, you can use the following command:

1	get-appxprovisionedpackage -online | remove- Appxprovisionedpackage -Online

To cancel installation of all Windows 10 applications

from now on, if a new user logs on to the machine, the only application that will be installed is the edge.

Note that, unlike Windows 8, this command also unlocks Windows Store applications in Windows 10.

as I was on an article As described in the article, I describe Uninstalling Windows Applications , the other option is to simply deploy an image of the Windows Enterprise LTSB (long service Branch) version, which is not provided with the configured Windows application. The disadvantage may be that you will not receive any feature updates until Microsoft publishes the next LTSB release.
