alfatec Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Anybody noticed that if you do the feature update from 1709 to 1803 when you have removed the apps from the .wim it re-installs them all. I thought beginning with 1709 that this was not supposed to happen???
snagrat Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I remove them during deployment not from the wim and they are not re-appearing
alfatec Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 Is that an upgrade from 1709 to 1803 or fresh build deployment??
snagrat Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Fresh 1709 build then remove apps. Feature upgrade to 1803 and apps not returning
jmak Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 There was a thread a few weeks ago about this. The upshot was that prevention of reinstallation is down to registry entries. If you remove from the wim, the registry entries aren't created. If you remove during deployment they are. I'm pretty sure it was a post by @Arthur and it also had the required registry entries, so you could still remove from the wim and prevent reinstallion. I'm going to give that a go, as I've found that (with our mostly older machines) removing during deployment is very slow.

alfatec Posted June 9, 2018 Author Posted June 9, 2018 Thanks Arthur, worked a treat and everything still works the same even default profile.

Just spent a quiet half hour seeking it out to make sure I get my 1803 build right and apparently it's not necessary anymore as MS have fixed it now.....

If you click @free780's link in the first thread I linked to above it would take you to the same info. i.e. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/application-management/remove-provisioned-apps-during-update Edited July 16, 2018 by Arthur
