Windows-itpro-docs: 1803: Removal / De-Provisioning of Apps is broken, not longer functional

[gruppenrichtlinien]

1803 specific:
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object {$_.Displayname -Like "Microsoft.BingNews"} | ForEach-Object { Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackageName $_.PackageName}
or alternative: Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | where {$_.DisplayName -eq "Name.of.The.App"} |
Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online
does not work in 1803. Apps will still be installed for each new user.

DISM can do it: cmd /c DISM.exe /online /Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackageName:"Package.Name"
but dism will also delete the ressources in %programfiles%\WindowsApps and the App can not be restored

I can confirm this, Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage throws an unspecified error "COMException".

Reproducible with

$ProvisionedPackage = Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -online | Where-Object {$_.displayName -CMatch "app name as regex"}
remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online -LogLevel 2 -packagename $ProvisionedPackage.PackageName

I also attempted the DISM command referenced earlier and received an error:

@greg-lindsay - can you take a look ?

[OndrejSoukup]

I could confirm my solution for Windows 10.1803

1. Remove-AppxPackage
2. Reboot
3. Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage

Good luck :)

[Hammerfest]

Just as a note, even with the latest: en_windows_10_consumer_edition_version_1803_updated_aug_2018_x64_dvd_f2764cf8.iso
as well as business edition, the issue still occurs in audit mode

After testing the integration of each and every build AFTER 17134.81, either with the 17134.1 as the base or the July release (or was it June... whatever), it still fails on first boot to audit mode (I always do this while no internet is connected, but tested with and let it update, issue persists).

It should be noted, that AFTER making a user, then updates (for older builds), then manually redoing sysprep/audit mode, it works.

That said, I will be sticking to the 17134.81 iso I made as it literally takes 3x the time with any other ISO.

Please fix Microsoft...

@OndrejSoukup i tried another script which basically does the same and also get this error. you are saying that if you remove appxpackage in audit mode and then restart again you can remove the appxprovisioned ones?

[Hammerfest]

@marctrei
Its actually much simpler, the TLDR WORKAROUND (READ: this is NOT A FIX or RESOLUTION):
1: Boot into audit mode as normal, give it a few moments to calm down (CPU/Mem/Disk usage, took about 10 seconds on my NVMe test rig)
2: Simply do a normal simple reboot
3: After the reboot, scripts using the "Get-AppxProvisionedPackage" command will work without an issue!

Details: I tested MANUALLY making/testing ISO's for .1 up to .228. As it stands, up to .81, there is NO RESTART REQUIRED and manual commands or scripts using Appx work just fine. However, after .81 all the way to .228, a restart is now required IN AUDIT MODE ON FIRST BOOT SETUP. Oh, and lest I forget, a patch+reboot in that June/July release frenzy range (I forget the specific patch, it was such a pain in the arse to deal with).

So, I recommend using a self build 17134.81 ISO if you DON'T want to have to restart during first run audit mode, but you will have to deal with windows updates after first boot. If you don't want to deal with the windows updates after first boot (its a battle of lazyness for me), take the extra time, and after first boot into audit mode, just reboot it once more to fix whatever M$ft bollixed.

[marctrei]

@Hammerfest tyvm - I will give this a try tomorrow cause I really wanna know. For that Fix/Update: I did patch the Image with WSUSOffline on 28th of this month, should be included right?

allthough I already did a new Image using the DISM to get rid of all the provisioned apps, ill report back tomorrow.

[marctrei]

@Hammerfest perfect, really did do the trick - script ran fine afterwards and I got rid of all the crap tyvm

Since 1809 came out and DID NOT have this issue, I have not gone back to test 1803.
Will add it to the list of things to do this week.
