How can I safely remove pre-installed apps? I want to create a windows 11 iso that only contains the store but I think that deleting almost everything could affect its functionality... so I ask you which windows apps are safe to delete? In my case here is the list of apps collected from Windows 11 21h2 Build 1219 using powershell: Code: Name PackageFullName ---- --------------- 1527c705-839a-4832-9118-54d4Bd6a0c89 1527c705-839a-4832-9118-54d4Bd6a0c89_10.0.19640.1000_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2t... c5e2524a-ea46-4f67-841f-6a9465d9d515 c5e2524a-ea46-4f67-841f-6a9465d9d515_10.0.22000.1_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy E2A4F912-2574-4A75-9BB0-0D023378592B E2A4F912-2574-4A75-9BB0-0D023378592B_10.0.19640.1000_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2t...

There is no point, if your getting updates, as all will be shoved back on regardless , and removing anything, without breaking anything, is too much of a challenge now, so best live with it. the way MS wants ya to
