    (FCU) Candy Crush, etc. reappearing after uninstallation and reboot


    I did a clean install of the Fall Creators Update (Pro) and tried to uninstall the built-in junk apps (Candy Crush, March of Empires, Facebook, Minecraft, etc.). They uninstall fully but then reappear in the start menu after one or more reboots. The apps do not show up with Get-AppxPackage. This happens even when "Update apps automatically" is disabled in the Store.

    One weird behavior is that they don't always reappear after a single reboot - if I uninstall Candy Crush and Facebook then reboot, on the first reboot Candy Crush gets reinstalled then Facebook may get reinstalled a few reboots later.

    On my pre-FCU machine the uninstallation was persistent without any registry/GPO hacks so it seems this is something new. Has anyone else been able to successfully remove these apps?

    :)

    my phone is uresposive in the lock screen

    Uninstall candy crush then Power the phone off then restart. Run it for a day to see if any issues reappear. If none, then reinstall the app and give it a try.

    The 1020 should handle the app easily.

    Uninstalled apps reappear after reboot

    Every time I uninstall the following apps, after reboot they reappear.

    I uninstalled by right clicking on the entry in the menu and selecting uninstall.

    I have read some solutions on the internet, but none seem to work.

    Any ideas?

    These are the apps listed in my start menu:

    Autodesk Scetchbook

    Bubblewitch 3 saga

    Candy crush soda saga

    March of Empires: War of Lords

    Microsoft Solitaire Collection

    Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that I had already tried setting SilentInstalledAppsEnabled to 0 and the apps still come back.
