So the script basically just uses a text file with the list package names and executes the Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage on each of them for a mounted WIM file. Since 1809 we optimized the process by using a script by Anton Romanyuk: We are using PowerShell Scripts to remove the unwanted Apps since Version 1709, which have been modified with each new build to cover any unwanted apps. We are not using SCCM but another Software Deployment tool to do Inplace Upgrades of Windows 7 Machines and update Windows 10 Version to newer builds.

You can also not just use Add-AppXPackage to reinstall those Apps, as you will receive "The system cannot find the path specified".Īll profiles already existing on 1809 will be fine and those Apps will work as expected. You can't start those mentioned apps on any new user, they are listed Start Menu but clicking on it will result in neither an error message nor anything happening at all. When using DISM or PowerShell to remove unwanted built in Windows 10 Apps from you WIM File, you will break the Photos, Movies & TV, Screen & Sketch, Get Help and Camera App for all new user profiles signing on after upgrading from Windows 10 Version 1809 to 1903. In order to not end up in TL DR, I will try to provide the summary first and then the more technical details. I really hope to save someone else the trouble and of course find a solution together with you guys. I really have to share my experience which almost drove me mad over the last 2,5 weeks.
