Windows 10 Pro Infused Apps

windows 10

C:\Windows\InfusedApps\Applications is where all of the infused apps are located. 3d Builder, AppConnectior, Bing apps, Office, Solitare, store, Xbox, etc.
I don't want to have to uninstall each one of these apps for each individual AD User that decides to log onto this PC. Would it be feasible to rename this folder, lock it down so only administrators can access this folder, or remove it so that none of the applications will install with each individual user? As typical in AD, we don't allow individual users to uninstall or install applications as that is locked down. We also don't want them to be playing solitaire, or using the XBOX app, Issue with virus & spyware getting on the PC's in the past, and other unwanted apps. What would it do to the OS? Would it give issues? I stopped the XBOX services and it caused me to have to rebuild the machine for the third time.

If you are in a Enterprise and want to roll out Windows 10, look for the Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB Edition. This edition is available for Volume License users and comes without any of the preinstalled apps.

You have a clean start:

and don't need to remove any apps.

SysPrep Windows 10 Pro Error (0x0f0070 & 0x0f00d8)

So I managed to fix this by tinkering a bit with the Appx .NET package. I had a second user that was created during setup on VMware. "Admin" and "Administrator" were on the system. So I logged into "Admin" and ran:

Remove-AppxPackage "Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.1.0_1.0.22929.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe"

I was then confronted with an error stating that "Microsoft.Skype" is using this .NET Runtime and removing the .NET package was not possible.

I had to quickly search for the correct package that this error was referring to by issuing the Powershell command:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Select-String "Microsoft.Skype"

It then showed a single Microsoft.Skype Appx Package!

I then removed the "Microsoft.Skype" Appx Package and proceeded to run the above command, it worked!

My next step was to do the same on "Administrator". So I did the above and ran Sysprep again, boom! It works. Hopefully this helps someone in the future. :)

TL;DR:

Attempt to remove Appx package on any other user except the built-in Administrator, this should throw an error/conflict with another App;
Search for the App using the above Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers command
Remove the conflicting application to the be able to remove the primary issue-raising application;
Do this for all users, including the built-in Administrator; and
Sysprep should work again.
