Do you think the inability to elevate the privileges is an oversight, or by design? Thanks
It's more of a lack of ability to do so from within Settings since Windows apps (aka: modern apps) cannot run elevated.
You should be able to use one of the other options though, and be prompted by UAC for an administrator password to approve.
Yes, I can still elevate the old way through Control Panel. Thanks for the info.
I try unistall for example XBOX from app, but uninstall it's grey and it's impossible uninstall. In Control panel applications the app is not present ...?!?
Thank

Regarding the XBOX App, or better said some parts of it(?), PowerShell gives me errors when I try to uninstall them. I've read though -sorry, no link available - that despite the errors those parst (?) are indeed uninstalled! I don't know if this is true or not.
type power shell>right click>run as administrator
then input at the prompt: Get-AppxPackage *zune* | Remove-AppxPackage
hit return and Groove Music, People and TV will be uninstalled.
input at the prompt: Get-AppxPackage *communi* | Remove-AppxPackage
and Mail and Calendar will be uninstalled.
input: Get-AppxPackage *bing* | Remove-AppxPackage
and Money, Sports, News and Weather will be uninstalled.
input: Get-AppxPackage *xbox* | Remove-AppxPackage
to remove X-Box.
I've uninstalled everything but the camera, voice recorder, alarms and clock, maps, cortana and store; I like all of these except alarms and clocks and cortana, but don't see how to get rid of them as yet. Everything is running fine and I like the lack of clutter.

I tried using your shortcut suggestion before using this script:
The script worked but it was not supposed to remove the store and it did. I then tried your shortcut and I could not re install the store. Any Ideas?Code:Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage | where {$_.Name -notlike “*Store*”}
