    i tried few methods like removing appx and install it
    del the regs
    it might remove it but not completely

    any idea or suggestion are welcome
     
  2. Do you want to remove systemapps from 22000.51 build ie appxpackages.
    i have a solution for that as systemapps removal tweaker for this build.
    if concern is regarding something else then pl ignore my msg.

    yea i would, if it wont re-appear on new users
    then its great
    also non running in the background ...

    do u know which process is installing those appx
    like dismhost / trustedinstaller install packages / updates

    but those apps are not familiar to me
     
  4. Brother Pl wait till 1-2 hrs as i am on mobile.
    i will share that script from my pc here within 1-2 hrs.

    It will first drop triggers from srdrepository then will set nonremovable policy to 0 & then will execute user grid view powershell command to remove appxpackages.
    main tweak is to drop the triggers that were applied by M$ to isinbox for packages removal.

    Brother Just Select the AppxPackage you want to remove & Click OK.
    Next Time Recheck you wont see it in List.

    Especially Recheck is there because of hard coded [Windows.SearchApp] which left when we remove Appxpackages according to our Needs from online installed system so in recheck when we slect this searchapp it will be removed too.

    Edit :
    MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience can be removed but after we remove it WU wont function properly & will result in a error when trying to update windows via WU. if its not a issue we can remove this app too.

    Thanks & Regards,

  12. Brother i have already edited one of my previous comment & stated :

    MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience which is [GetStarted] can be removed but after we remove it WU wont function properly & will result in a error when trying to update windows via WU. if its not a issue we can remove this app too.

    05/30/2021  03:40 AM             8,192 WebHost.winmd
    it might be related to widgets

    AppxManifest

    <Application Id="WebExperienceHost" Executable="WebExperienceHostApp.exe" EntryPoint="WebExperienceHostApp.App">
    "); vertical-align: bottom; height: 10px;"><uap:VisualElements DisplayName="ms-resource:WebExperienceHostAppName/Text" Square150x150Logo="Assets\GetStartedMedTile.png" Square44x44Logo="Assets\GetStartedAppList.png" Description="ms-resource:WebExperienceHostDescription" BackgroundColor="transparent">
    <uap:DefaultTile Wide310x150Logo="Assets\GetStartedWideTile.png" Square310x310Logo="Assets\GetStartedLargeTile.png" Square71x71Logo="Assets\GetStartedSmallTile.png"/>
    <uap:SplashScreen Image="Assets\GetStartedSplashScreen.png"/>
    <uap:LockScreen Notification="badge" BadgeLogo="Assets\GetStartedBadgeLogo.png"/>
    </uap:VisualElements>


    i thought with modding AppxManifest i could get something
    doesnt appear to change something or break it all
