Windows 10: Twitter app removal

Hi All,

Trying to capture a reference machine using sccm. Windows 10 Education

Once I run the wizard, sysprep fails to run.

Error message from sysprep log below and appears to fail on the twitter app.

Now, there is no app on the start button, only arrows so there's no app to uninstall. If I look at Settings-System - Apps and Features it's not listed there either. Running powershell only diplays MS apps.

Any ideas?

thanks.

Did anyone ever solve the provoked account issue on the twitter app, I have checked that it is not provoked on my computer and still no hope, any ideas?

The only other option I can think of is this.

• Go to your twitter account on a PC browser, and revoke access to ALL apps and services.
  
• Then, come to your phone and remove twitter from EMAIL + ACCOUNTS
• Then, remove the twitter app on the phone.
• Next, restart your phone (just for the sake of it)
• Now install the twitter app and when you try to sign in, it should take you to the twitter access settings. Proceed with the access.

Hopefully, this fixes it.

 

Cannot uninstall twitter app in Windows 10

Original Title: How do you remove items from Start Menu | All Apps list?

I have a blank blue square marked Twitter with no icon under 'T' in the All Apps list. It won't open. I can't uninstall it or find the way to remove it. If I go to the Store and install Twitter it puts an additional normal Twitter square with an icon
under 'T' in the All Apps list. However that Twitter won't open either.

How do you edit the All Apps list and remove this?
