Better to remove the apps in PowerShell. First remove for each user. Something like Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers to identify all apps installed per each user. Next log in as each user on the machine and run a variation of Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage I tend to keep few of them installed, like Calculator, Weather, Alarm, MSNNews, MSNMoney and most of all Store. If you remove Store and want it later, you will need to install few runtimes first. The last and probably what I think is most important, is to remove the Provisioned Packages, all of them. Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online Be careful with all those PowerShell commands, as it is difficult (not impossible) to recover if you removed something that you need back. If you still want to remove the folder without using supported methods, there is always NSudo
That's weird. Maybe it's bug feature? Try restarting pc, its kinda random it wont stay off and apps keep appearing & disappearing.
I've noticed the same behaviour with background apps toggling in this build, if i switch them off one by one, they randomly will switch back to on. If i toggle to disable every background app, it toggles back to on after a restart. Again, randomly, it's off sometimes. The most annoying problem i have with the background apps settings page is that it's most of the time empty, the apps are completely gone and wont show themselfs until they're either being used or are recently updated from the Store.
I have a dism that's repairable but I can't fix it without having to download a new updated version of windows 10. Will Win 10 build 1803 "upgrade" fix Dism? Curious
I had the same problems yesterday, tried everything from wsreset, powershell to reinstall windows with setting and apps kept, nothing worked. Today after a clean install the same problems appeared again. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070005 Every Store app I try to update die. Ended up restoring my 16299 backup from a week ago. I'm gonna wait a few weeks with this.
Yes, this issue is consistently happening on my machine. It seems to reset this setting on every reboot.
To make a long story short about my experience with RS4 Pro 17133.1, fonts were illegible at 2560x1440 on an Acer CB270HU and various GSOD were encountered every few hours at least. This never happened with the previous fast ring version I had. As I found no fix for the fonts issue (despite following plenty of advices like scaling, fonts changing etc.), I made a clean install of 17133, using an ISO made by me from the official ESD. Guess what, fonts still illegible at native resolution (I need to run main display at 1920 to read), BSOD's from time to time and also disfunctional NIC when resuming from sleep (I need to reinstall it from device manager almost each time). All these while running just Edge with 6 tabs open. It doesn't look RTM quality to me. If MS doesn't fix it in ab. 1 week I will rollback to RS3.
I made an ISO and its sitting on my desktop for the past few days. Everyday I wake up saying today I do a clean install but let me check the forums. I come here check the forums and just keep seeing more and more issue with this build. I think I will give it release day to see if they push an update to fix all these issue. If they don’t then there reallly no point installing RS4...It sucks cause I really want to try it.
I just restarted PC... Background Apps shows 3 apps and they are toggled on... Can't disable "Web Search", "Background Apps" broken... Great build.
It seems that font settings in this spring update is only for display without functionality. ... only for looking and exposure
I just set my Settings/Windows Update/ Advance options/ Feature updates to 90 days. I do this for every Feature update.
If you don't use the store and store apps... Just uninstall... it won't affect the system or updates. Uninstall, Re-install. Powershell commands: Spoiler * To Uninstall Store and Store Apps Code: Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online -erroraction silentlycontinue Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage -erroraction silentlycontinue * To Reinstall Store and Store Apps Code: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} Note: The commands will not remove critical components like, ex: Cortana. You will uninstall Windows Photos Apps... So to open Images use software: XnView.
Yes. It's however possible to disable individual apps there. I guess M$ did this intentionally for some reasons.
