I use this procedure: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Removing-Built-in-apps-65dc387b?tduid=$569e0478750b11eef92bc61924d27191$$256380$$2459594$$TnL5HPStwNw-zWYNrEBXJwDBJFGQV46sng$$$ and then this: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/mniehaus/2015/11/23/seeing-extra-apps-turn-them-off/ With the first article I leave the photo and calculator apps on. The second procedure gets rid of the built in ones. Also what size is your default profile and how are you doing your default profile??

Are the Apps reinstalling themselves for new users. Did you follow the instructions to remove the apps from the Wim file not just unprovision them??

You need to extract all the files from the ISO. I normally mount the ISO then copy all the files into a new folder. Amend the install.wim file then copy it back and overwrite the one that is there. I then use img-burn (a free DVD maker) to make a bootable DVD or USB pen etc. I use this on build 1511 and have also used it on the latest anniversary update build.

I would try just Office applications first to ensure you know your start menu is working fine then add applications on after. What account are you using to create the XML. Ensure you delete the profiles before you test with a new xml as the old profile will show the old start menu.

Yea agree. That is the issue. Do you go with 1511 for the summer upgrade or wait??

This is the best way to remove the apps: I use slightly different method. I edit the install.wim from the Windows 10 edu 1511 iso and remove the default apps, just leaving photo's and calculator. Then rebuild iso and make bootable DVD. Here is the link:https://gallery.technet.microsoft.co...DBJFGQV46sng)(). Once you build your reference image go to gpedit.msc and follow these instructions to get rid of the Microsoft customer experience apps, like Candy Crush, Twitter etc. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/...turn-them-off/. Now when you sysprep and redploy your image no more annoying apps apart from the ones you want.

The new anniversary update will speed up first login times significantly.

Try it without Internet Explorer. I had the same issue. It seems if you have one dodgy tile then none of the redirected start tiles work. I removed Internet Explorer and it all works fine now.

They have just released build 14342 and will be making the iso's available soon. They released this build to the slow ring so it can't be that far off the final build candidate.

dblight - did you upgrade from 1511 to ann update or fresh build?

Wouldn't it be nice if Microsoft just listened!!!!!

I think it is best to create new images. Not sure if you can upgrade and then sysprep.

No probs. How are your first login times?

How are you removing your Appxpackages. I extract the install.wim from the ISO then run a powershell command to remove the apps. I then rebuild the ISO so that I have a base ISO without any apps in it. I remove the user-192 image that takes off the grey round box on login. Run winlogonchanger 1.5 to set the background for the username/password background. Set default desktop background in local group policy and do reg fix to disable onedrive starting for all users. Turn off microsoft consumber experience and disable first sign in animation in logal group policy. Change the user account control admin approval mode in local security policy so that you can use everything when logged in as local administrator. Install .net 3.5. Then sysprep into audit mode and setup local admin account with all the things that need setting up for local profile. Use copy profile in unattend file.

Yea same here. Just started to deploy about 30 workstations and about 25 laptops. All sweet because I have done the development work. Would be nice to get the final anniversary ISO about a week before summer break. Had a good play with it already and have developed it the same as my 1511 so know it works fine.

I think the Start menu is going to be a personal decision. Only concern is when is it going to get released. I think they were stating 29th July which might be a bit late and have also done months of work on 1511 and know it is now stable and easily deployable. For tefters: I use PDQ Deploy to roll out CS5.5, Smartboard software etc. Used Adobe package manager to make CS5.5 package and Smartboard package manager as well. I install Office 2016 at source then control with group policy.

Login times for 1511 are about 1 min 15 first login and about 5-6 seconds after that and that is on older workstations with only 2gb ram and normal 7200rpm drives, not SSD.

I'm staying on 1511. Don't like the new start menu and I think it will confuse staff even more. Just finished my 1511 build and got it nice and neat. No apps and live microsoft apps disabled. Can't see anything in the anniversary update that makes much difference. Problem is you update to the anniversary update and then next year they bring out redstone update 2 so there has to be a starting point somewhere.

On early ring.

Anybody had a play with the new Windows 10 Anniversary update version 14332 yet. First login times seem to be significantly quicker, now down to about 20 seconds but I think they have messed up by changing the Start Menu again. More live tile apps but these can be turned off with group policy.

Good to hear. I think it is the best option of building a good Windows 10 image to work in a school environment.

I amend the default profile to stop it running for all users. Follow the bits below: reg load "hku\Default" "C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT" reg delete HKU\default\software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v OneDriveSetup /f reg unload "hku\Default" Obviously this will only apply to new users after you have amended the profile. I have it built into my main image.

What is in your unattend file?
