Preventing Use of Microsoft Store for Students

I had the Microsoft Store blocked by using registry entries. Lately that has become ineffective. I am using Win10 PRO-2004.

I have used:

Code:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore\AutoDownload = 2
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore\DisableStoreApps = 1
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore\RemoveWindowsStore = 1

I have also set the Local Security Policy to prevent use for the Students:


I need help blocking the Store with the new culture MS has adopted.

Thank you

You can uninstall Microsoft Store app with the batch script i have attached.

Freebooter, thank you for sharing the file. It worked GREAT!

One thing I noted: The file needs to be run with the user of interest logged on as an Administrator. Otherwise, does not change the restrictions. I attempted as a Standard User, and had no effect (ran file with elevated credentials). Minor inconvenience, but well worth achieving the result.

You earned the rating of Guru for a reason.
