[1703, cu] After sysprep Windows Apps (Edge) are not installed when user logs in

[drbill28]

Hello,

 

Like many I remove the Windows Apps from my image. Obviously doing so leaves behind Cortana and Edge browser. It worked fine at first. Then probably through an app update, when I sysprep my image and deploy this Edge does not appear as installed. If you click on the Edge shortcut in the tray it'll pop-up and install...sometimes. I attached a photo of what the start menu will look like.

 

Is there a way to have Windows Apps be installed for users during deployment. Either through sysprep or a script during deployment or a script through GPO. I can't seem to get rid of this symptom, plus there's other times where we'll need to have all the normal default apps installed for OS training classes.

 

Thanks in advance!!! I hate Windows 10
