Windows 10: Apps Getting Uninstalled Upon Restart

Greetings, everyone.


I have ran into a problem a while back, with apps constantly getting uninstalled after each system reboot. These apps include:

• Xbox Game Bar
• Movies & TV
• Groove Music
• Mail and Calendar
• Your Phone
• Xbox Console Companion

This happens on both of my Windows 10 devices, after around 5 minutes of runtime after a restart. Both devices use the same profile, and the problem seems to be happening inconsistently. A restart does not guarantee an uninstall of these applications, but they will not get uninstalled unless I've restarted my system. The applications will get deleted even while running, and will remain with the option of 'launch', instead of install in the Microsoft Store, until I close it with the Task Manager.


So far I have tried running various CMD checks, both on my memory and integrity of the registry files; have tried manually uninstalling, then reinstalling the applications; resetting and repairing them; and even installing them on separate hard drives. Nothing seems to have helped, which is why I am resorting to the forums. Both PCs are running the latest version of Windows 10 and have all security measures enabled.


This is a very annoying issue, as it means I have to manually reinstall all the applications I will be using upon each reboot, so any help will be greatly appreciated!


Thank you in advance!

I suggest you to follow the steps below to uninstall the Photo app and check if it helps.

We cannot disable Photos app on windows 10. However, we can uninstall the app and when you require the app you can download it through Windows Store.

I suggest you to follow the steps below to uninstall the Photo app.

  right-click on Windows PowerShell and click on
  Run as administrator.
  
• 
  Type the following commands, press Enter
  key after each command, in the given order.
  

1. Get-AppxPackage

(This will view all the apps installed in your account.)

2. Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers

(This will view all Windows apps installed in the computer.)

3. Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Windows.Photos | Remove-AppxPackage

Completely uninstall provisioned apps: how-to and detailed explanation

Sorry, that can't work, because you're searching for neutral after quering without -PackageTypeFilter. That is: you retrieve only Main and Framework packages and then you search the ones with an undefined architecture.
You should rather use:
Code:

But I would suggest you to query the registry as I suggested in my last post. That should be even better because you're not relying on assumptions on Get-AppxPackage. With a registry query you're asking Windows which Bundle apps it has installed.
Or, if you feel like, try both and compare the results. *Biggrin
Cheers,
