Eh, good stuff, just couple of days ago somebody asked me how to do that.
Nice and professional DavidHere is a video on how to setup Shared PC Mode. It allows you to configure a PC for Guests to log into, or a shared PC in an organisation with domain logins.
It works for Windows 10 Pro/ Education/ Enterprise and I think probably Windows 10 S. But not Windows 10 Home, or versions before 1607. (I used version 1703 which has more capabilities in this area.)

Two videos from thread Tips and tricks - You saw it first on TenForums! - Windows 10 Forums:
I searched Google and Bing with every possible search criteria I could think of, didn't find this being posted anywhere. Although I am a big fan of UWP apps, I understand those users who prefer traditional desktop apps. This video is for those members.
Windows 10 Creators Update - Clean Install without Windows Store (UWP) Apps
The method shown adds two minutes to time needed for a clean install giving you a stripped down Windows 10, or rather a complete Windows 10 without any UWP apps.
PowerShell command used in video to completely remove all UWP apps including Store during installation:
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage –Online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online
Alternative for those wanting to keep Store, to be able to reinstall and use UWP apps later on:
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage –Online | where-object {$_.packagename –notlike “*Store*”} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online
Pro, Education & Enterprise users, this is the policy modified in video:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and taskbar > Start Layout

Windows 10 Creators Update - Name PC at Setup
In my opinion, one of the worst decisions Windows 10 developer teams made was to remove possibility to name your PC already when setting it up. Especially when this feature was removed at the same time when Windows introduced digital licensing. For instance, transferring a digital license to another computer is based not only on your Microsoft account but also on old computer's name.
In Windows 7 setup, PC was named after your chosen username but you could change it to whatever you wanted to. Windows 8 took this a step further. No name was suggested, you simply had to name the PC otherwise you could not finish the setup.
This video shows how to fix this, name your Windows 10 PC already when setting up a pre-installed or a clean installed Windows 10 Creators Update.
