Windows 10: Does deprovision app package completely remove it?

I have a question that might be stupid, but, I made a script to remove the apps I don't use (or care about, which is essentially everything minus the calc and the store for "just in case" moments); but I've used the command to deprovision a package from all users.

Now to my questions, when you deprovision a package is the app actually completely removed from the system including it's settings and two, the only way to get it back is re-provision the package(s) and do a feature or in-place upgrade?

This is the script I made

Code:

Thanks in advance.

Reprovisioning a deprovisioned Windows app

Let's try the following scenario, for example for the Microsoft.Office.OneNote app. The same applies for other apps.

Based on OPTION THREE of the tutorial by Shawn @Brink:

1. If we want to uninstall the app, for all users, we run the command:
Code:

2. To prevent the app from new accounts created afterward, we run the command:
Code:

The deprovision command does what is supposed to do and creates the following reg key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\Deprovisioned\Mic rosoft.Office.OneNote_8wekyb3d8bbwe

So far so good.

What if the deprovision command was run by mistake or we changed our mind and we want to allow the app for the new accounts created afterward?

The easy solution will be to go to the Store, find the app (Microsoft.Office.OneNote in our example) and reinstall it.
Which works perfectly; the app is there for the current account and AllUsers. However, the reg entry is still there showing the app deprovisioned for future accounts.

How can we undo/reverse the deprovision for future accounts?
Is it as simple as deleting the reg entry, OR we need to do something else to reprovision the app?

 

Deprovision

If my account is deprovisioned, can i get it back?

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
