Windows 10: Audit Customizations

So I'm working on creating a reference image for myself and some friends. The idea was to debloat windows as much as possible. I figured out how to do most of what I need through trial and error, however, there are a few last changes that I just can't seem to figure out.

1. Is it possible to turn off the "most used" section in the start menu in audit mode? Because windows is not activated I can't just use the settings to disable it.

2. Can Cortana and Settings be removed from the 'all apps' list? I know they are system apps, and I don't want to remove them entirely, just the icons.

3. Is it possible to remove the folders: "Contacts", "Favourites", "Links", "Saved Games", and "Searches" from each user? No matter what I do a few come back most of the time it seems to be "Favourites", even system hiding them doesn't seem to work.

That's really about it, any help would be much appreciated



(Apologies, this post is actually a duplicate I'm new here and couldn't figure out how to move it)

Windows 10 won't install in Audit Mode

Hi,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Audit mode is used to add customizations to Windows images. When you use audit mode, the system does not have to apply settings in Windows Welcome. OEMs and corporations should use audit mode to complete their manual customizations.

Is your computer connected to working environment or any domain?

Reply us with the information so that we can proceed with the next step.

Thank You.

I don't think mate. As far as i know they attend training sessions and they are provided learning material and documentation, but i didnt hear anything about audits or checks on their care point employees.

If there are any checks, they're most probably done by a local superior that works in the same care point and thus their audits are redundant and do not reflect the real condition of the employees.
