This is a collected list of APPS from different Windows 10 Editions, List generated like this:

Get-AppxPackage -allusers | where {$.installlocation -like 'windowsapps' -and $.name -notlike 'native'} | where {$_.name -notlike 'vclibs'} | ft name

Possible incomplete list. Feel free to extend the Script.

You can add this script to group policy user login script section of a GPO.

A simple procedure of RunOnce is integrated, without Error handling and without check, if APP exist.

The philosophie is the same like in the whole gp-pack PaT: All Apps possible are removed.

Exclude the ones you like to keep by removing the line or uncomment with a '#'

Some Remove-AppxPackage lines will give Errors, because the APP can not be removed on userbase.

In this case the entry exist for compatibility reasons to the "Remove-ProvisionedAppsNewUser.ps1" script.

Same content/Same Apps is easier to handle.

To run the script a secound time simply delete %userprofile%\RemovedApps.txt file.

To add an accidently remove APP, restore it like this:

Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub_1.3.1741.0neutral~_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxMetadata\AppxBundleManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode
