Removing Windows 10 Built-In Apps (AnniUpdate Edition)

thpinpostlogoI’ve started work on updating Tweaking Windows 10. There are a few changes for uninstalling built-in apps.

These are my personal preferences as I do not use apps. It is up to you to filter what you want to keep.
You can reinstall all apps with this command:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

You need to run PowerShell as administrator to do this.
ps_th_12345

You can list the installed apps by copy/paste the following:
DISM /Online /Get-ProvisionedAppxPackages | select-string Packagename

Full printout and screenshot is below. The apps I recommend to uninstall via copy/paste (you can copy/paste all at once):
Get-AppxPackage *3d* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage *alarms* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage *bing* | Remove-AppxPackage
