Windows 10 reference modern apps

[smalls001]

Afternoon All,

 

I have done a windows 10 1909 image and taken out modern apps before I have sysprep, all is well with the image until I deploy it with SCCM. The new pc builds fine but when I login the modern apps are in the start menu as link a to download it. Never had this before with any other image.

 

How do I get rid of the modern apps?

 

Thanks for any help in advance

Do you apply the reg key \ gpo , DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures ?

I remove them after os install, through the task sequence. I found it broke my sysprep capture if I did it before.

No , will give this a try, not got the admx for 1903 install. Thanks

Is this for tiles side of the start menu?

[caffrey]

Should be yes

[smalls001]

Not having a issue with tiles, its the start menu on the left

There's also SilentInstalledAppsEnabled, PreInstalledAppsEnabled, OemPreInstalledAppsEnabled and SystemPaneSuggestionsEnabled

 

I have these reg keys added with a script I use on the WIM

This.

 

There is an issue with removing apps before sysprep or removing from wim before deployment. The safest method is to now remove after os deployment.

What do you use and where?

I use SCCM to deploy Windows 10. I deploy an unaltered wim (as stripping apps out of the wim can now bork the installation) and use a script to remove the apps while the installation is still offline.

 

The removal script is here: https://pastebin.com/iy2krNcd

The xml containing the apps to remove is here: https://pastebin.com/5aBbjTLY

 

You then create a package in sccm and run it during the OS setup phase of OSD

Same here, though I use this script https://ccmexec.com/2019/04/updated-removeapps-script-for-windows-10-1903/ , I followed the instructions and updated the apps XML for 1909. Edited November 21, 2019 by jslate1980
