How to remove all inbuilt apps from the windows 10 image level

Hi Team,

How to remove all inbuilt apps from the windows 10 image level?

I have tried MDT and DISM tool, which removes only the provisioned apps. I am unable to remove the inbuilt apps like onedrive ect.

Can some one help me to remove onedrive, candycrush and edge from image level.

Regards,

Muralidharan.

 

Onedrive

Doesn't work. My Install.wim has FW3.5 installed and most MS apps removed except Photo and Calc. Every time I attempt this OneDrive removal on the image (tried 3 times) I get the same exact result during installation.

"Unable to install required files"

According to the install log:

Error applying F:\Windows\WinSxS\wow64_microsoft-windows-mapcontrol_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.10240.16384_none_25aa37f6d9a10a6e\mos.dll. GLE [1392][gle=0x00000570]

I started fresh with my existing image each time and each time this happened. Existing image installs fine.

 

I took this a step further and grabbed the install.wim out of the MS ISO. Added FW3.5, removed apps and removed OneDrive. Same exact issue, same exact error. I didn't try it with just OneDrive removal because honestly, that's not an option for me.

btw, Windows 10 ENT x64.

Looks like it'll have to be the Group Policy no OneDrive option for me.

 

Finally got to the bottom of this thanks to my brain not letting it go over the weekend. If you want to have a fresh install with no OneDrive then you can tackle it this way:

You don't have to delete the EXE at all. Just edit the registry (via this tut) to not install it. Boom, done. No worry about missing file errors during install. Feel free to delete the setup up file if you want after install.
