Remove Windows 10 Build Apps with MDT 2013!

To remove Windows 10 build-in apps for your customize image you can use PowerShell. MDT 2013 makes it super simple by adding a command within your Task Sequence to call out the PowerShell script and it will remove Windows 10 build apps.

Anyway to get rid of the dead icons showing under the "other"section (@{Microsoft..) in All Apps? The script work through my TS but even using the copyprofile setting still results in the broken icons. Thanks!

awesome
bt why you don't customize wi10 manual and simply capture with DISM and then deploy

[Rayzerday]

This is great. Always followed all of your videos after i implemented MDT watching your older videos. I have a question you probably have ran into this, but a colleague of mine said he ran into an issue activating his Windows 10 image with a KMS server. Have you come across this by any chance? Also keep the videos coming!

I know it's an old video, but I'll throw this out there in case it helps anyone. I remove the apps from the WIM before deploying the OS using the following script:

$Wim = "D:\MDT\Production\Operating Systems\Windows 10 Enterprise x64 v20H2\sources\install.wim"

Dism /Get-ImageInfo /imagefile:$wim


$Index = "3"
## Create mountpath first
$MountPath = "D:\MDT\Production\Operating Systems\Windows 10 Enterprise x64 v20H2\mnt\"
## Configure the apps to be removed
$AppsList = "Microsoft.BingWeather",
"Microsoft.Getstarted",
"Microsoft.Messaging",
"Microsoft.Microsoft3DViewer",
"Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub",
"Microsoft.MixedReality.Portal",
"Microsoft.MSPaint",
"Microsoft.Office.OneNote",
"Microsoft.OneConnect",
"Microsoft.Print3D",
"Microsoft.People",
"Microsoft.SkypeApp",
"Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps",
"Microsoft.Xbox.TCUI",
"Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay",
"Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider",
"Microsoft.XboxSpeechToTextOverlay",
"Microsoft.XboxApp",
"Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub",
"Microsoft.ZuneMusic",
"Microsoft.ZuneVideo"

## Mount the Image
Mount-WindowsImage –ImagePath $Wim –Index $Index –Path $MountPath

## Remove the Apps listed above or report if app not present
ForEach ($App in $AppsList)
{
$ProPackageFullName = (Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Path $MountPath | Where {$_.Displayname -eq $App}).PackageName

If ($ProPackageFullName)
{
Write-Host "Removing Provisioned Package: $ProPackageFullName"
Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Path $MountPath -PackageName $ProPackageFullName
}

Else
{
Write-Host "Unable to find provisioned package: $App"
}
}

## Dismount the image and save changes
Dismount-WindowsImage –Path $MountPath -Save

## End

The index 3 is for Enterprise. Adjust that and the path settings according to your environment. The script isn't my creation. Not sure where I picked it up, but it works a treat.

What if I wanted to only remove some of the apps, not ALL of the apps?

how to keep Photo viewer, Calc, Windows Camera but remove all others?

[AznThugLife]

Is there a way to fix/remove those broken pinned shortcuts on the Start Menu (down arrows)?

Hey man, reach out. I have a one note file I would like to share with you. It's all you need for SCCM or MDT Windows 10 corporate deployment. Including AppLocker, this script and much more. Feel free to make videos on the content.
