When I first looked through the article Chris posted as the first response I just went right to the "Preinstalled apps" Management section which had the PowerShell solution and missed the part about the Registry. Thank you Chris, PA and anyone else who may have suggested this. The sending of windows updates to other windows machines peer-to-peer fashion is just down right rude! Some people still have caps and draconian providers and this may ease them over their caps. Its a PITA at work as we are now going back through the network and making scripts to remove all the crap as best we can. I don't want to be having to worry about not turning something off in the "telemetry" spyware that will send my data to MS. Kinda wish i had stayed on 7 at home however and should I need to rebuild my gaming machine I will. I have other machines with Linux on that I use to everything else I need. I have 8.1 but have delegated it to just playing games. the current job I am in had 10 when I arrived so I had no say in that. This is why I have not upgraded to 10 at home. This is another example of why, in my opinion, Windows 7 Pro was so awesome. Have you seen this link to TechNet: Configure telemetry and other settings in your organization Opens a new windowĬomputer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Cloud Content > Turn off Microsoft consumer experiences.ĭon't get me wrong, I like Windows 10, but why oh why do these issues even have to be addressed on the Pro edition? by the way, dont try to run the script on a machine thats going to be captured in MDT, the sysprep will fail. i dont know if a version upgrade restores the apps, i havent had a chance to see yet. Just add or deIete any apps you want/dont want as needed. Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object |Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online it works great as an added application in MDT its not perfect as the user who executes the script will still retain its apps, so i recommend running it as the local admin as soon as the machine is deployed before any domain users log in. I use a script that prevents all apps except store, calculator, photos, phone companion and xbox(for video recording) from being installed on future user profiles, which is to say all users logging in for the first time after the script is run.
