Windows 10: How to disable Email & account app on Windows 10 Pro 1909

Hi all, our default app for Windows 10 pro Build 1909 users is Outlook 2013, and we have a cloud proxy in place to block users from Web based email cloud solutions like Yahoo, Gmail etc using the browsers.

How do I disable the Windows Email & Accounts app to stop users from setting up their accounts and connecting to a third party email solution like Gmail, Yahoo etc.

I've tried using the various Get AppxPacakge | provisioned powershell uninstall commands, but they do not appear to be working. Even though the MS Windows Communication app seems to have gone from the list, users are still able to lunch the email & accounts app to setup their accounts and connect to their mail boxes.

is there a registry key I can modify to disable complete access to the app on Windows 10 pro.

Hello vexorg,

You might check using step 3 in Option Two of the tutorial below to see if your son's email is listed under your "Email & app accounts". If so, deleting it will remove it.

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.
