AppxPackages AND AppxProvisionedPackages.

Good afternoon.

Question 1:

I have written a PowerShell script to remove AppxPackages AND AppxProvisionedPackages.

However, the following do NOT get removed [even run as the Built-In Administrator] . . .

Microsoft.Advertising.XamlMicrosoft.MicrosoftEdgeMicrosoft.Services.Store.EngagementMicrosoft.Window s.CloudExperienceHostMicrosoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManagerMicrosoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost

The error messages I receive for the User are . . .

Microsoft.Advertising.Xaml_10.1808.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps AND Microsoft.BingWeather currently depends on the framework.

Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_44.18362.387.0_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbweThis app is part of Windows and cannot be uninstalled on a per-user basis.An administrator can attempt to remove the app from the computer using Turn Windows Features on or off.

Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost_10.0.18362.387_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewyThis app is part of Windows and cannot be uninstalled on a per-user basis. An administrator can attempt to remove the app from the computer using Turn Windows Features on or off.

Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_10.0.18362.387_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewyThis app is part of Windows and cannot be uninstalled on a per-user basis. An administrator can attempt to remove the app from the computer using Turn Windows Features on or off.

The Built-In Administrator is the SAME except for the Microsoft.Advertising.Xaml which appears to have been removed!

How can I remove these please?

Question 2:

What exactly are these and can I disable them? . . .

Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin
AppConnector
Windows.ImmersiveControlPanel

Thanks in advance.

I am surprised that nobody has any input on this!

I haven't had much time to check out your progress with this.. but run this to see which packages can't be removed - dunno how to get around it .. not yet anyway.

Code:

Get-AppxPackage | ? {$_.NonRemovable -eq $true} | Select Name

(BTW: '?' = Where-Object)

That's brilliant, thank you.
That will save me time Googling!
