    Powershell removal of ALL modern apps EXCEPT specified.


    Looking for a way to use powershell to remove every modern/metro app except those specified in a list.
    I assume you'd have to use get-appxpackage to list all apps installed, then select ones that aren't in the list.
    (the list would just include what's included by Windows by default)

    The purpose is for removal of OEM installed apps from new laptops.

    :)

    After installing build 10130 on my dell laptop most of the apps crash or claim they can't connect.

    I've now updated to the current build 10162 and the modern apps all crash on opening just like before. It wouldn't be too bad except that tools like calculator are now using the modern UI.

    I've tried creating a new user, changing UAC and running a script in PowerShell that some have claimed solved the problem.

    Device Manager shows no problems and the graphics driver was updated by windows update. I don't know what else to try.
