Uninstalling ALL store apps with a script

A PowerShell script is simply a text file with a .ps1 extension that contains a list of commands PowerShell should execute. However, PowerShell's secure by default philosophy prevents all scripts from running, so double-clicking a PowerShell script from Windows Explorer won't execute it.

Thanks.
Which execution policy do I need to use though?
And how do I change it back when it's done? (if it works)

Code:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process

It will bypass the executionpolicy currently in place, for the session only.
i.e Run your script and when you exit PowerShell everything is as before.

but I have no idea how to integrate this into a batch file.

Code:

%WINDIR%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe "Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage"

Hm, doesn't work.
The script literally only does this:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process
Get-AppxPackage -allusers | Remove-AppxPackage

The command I run from a batch file is

Code:

powershell "%SystemDrive%\install\remove-store-apps.ps1"

I still get the "usual" error message.

Code:

c:\Install>powershell "%SystemDrive%\install\remove-store-apps.ps1"
C:\install\remove-store-apps.ps1 : File C:\install\remove-store-apps.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is di
sabled on this system. For more information, see about_Execution_Policies at https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135

To run the script the execution policy has to be changed outside the script, in order for it to run.
Do you have to run a script, for some reason? If not, don't use a script.

Open PowerShell as administrator.
Run the command: Get-AppxPackage -allusers | Remove-AppxPackage

Thanks! That worked.

You're very welcome!

If after all you need to run your script from a batch file, follow these steps:

1. Create a file named RemoveStoreApps.bat, and place it wherever you want. It should contain the following line:

Code:

%comspec% /k PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -file "%SystemDrive%\install\remove-store-apps.ps1"

2. The "%SystemDrive%\install\remove-store-apps.ps1" script should contain one line:

Code:

Get-AppxPackage -allusers | Remove-AppxPackage

3. To run the batch file, right click on it and select "Run as Administrator."
