Windows 10: Dealing with the whole armada of UWP Apps... remove unused or just ignore it?

Hello everybody,

I wonder, how do you handle the whole armada of UWP apps, when you set up a device for family or friends?
Do you remove unused ones from each user or have you "given up the fight" and let them installed and maybe just don't let them run in the background background apps setting?

Basically I struggle with the decision, how much customization is good or even needed and how much is too much.
Many apps will never be used, on the other hand, I don't want to impose my prevenence on anyone.
I can't and don't want go through every app with everyone to see if it is needed or not. :-

How do you handle this?

Thanks and greetings,
Martin

Ignoring Default App Settings





Hi, WMP is a bit puzzling.. I noted those two folders also, and this is a clean install of Win 10, so suggest you leave it well alone. That's how to remove/install it.
