Windows 10: Windows 10 1903 - Bare Bones: Edge, OneDrive, Settings - 32GB HDD

I got bored while waiting for 18362.113 to be superseded (KB4500109) so I can finish a reference image... and so...
I ran:

Code: Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Path C:\MyBuild\mount\OS | Remove-AppxProvisionedPacakge[/quote] Here's the result.









I was looking at removing Content Delivery Manager and Consumer Cloud Experience... but I think chopping the AppxPackages up and removing the advertising will work - as opposed to removing the package completely, as there are alot of other dependencies for those packages.

It's also simple enough to get the essential apps back on to the system... like calculator, and notes.

This image has only 3 apps: Edge, OneDrive and Settings.

It is also installed on a 32GB Drive... which overrides the 32GB > Minimum.











EDIT: I just had a brilliant idea. I'm going to cannibalise Server 2019 components... well... actually the other way around.
I noticed earlier that the MSU updates were identical. Which means the SKU doesn't exist anymore (it does and it doesn't).... Example: No more Win7/2K08, Win8/2K12, W10/2K16. It's all just Windows 2019.
I was able to interchange the server and desktop msu at a whim.

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

 

Windows 10 - OneDrive

This is Windows 10 Pro... Enterprise is an entirely different deal and I'm sure I won't have problems that route, but I'm not forking over more $ to dipshit developers. The only thing I can think of is un-linking my Office 365 accounts within Office, but that defeats the purpose of accessing the files ONLINE and managing them from there. I have two alumni accounts, not a single problem in Windows 7/8 until M$shit devs decided to integrate Onedrive. I've deleted, renamed, set read-only to "msosync.exe," ... but windows continues to add it again and again, and NOW I just noticed it's now linking to groove.exe, instead of onedrive. Sooo fn annoying!



Onedrive on Windows 10 is not an 'app' it is integrated. Plus I don't fool around with the Windows Store thoughtless developer child bullshit. Windows Store ought to be completely removed from the Windows platform all together. Also I do not intend to completely remove Onedrive, it defeats the purpose... the purpose is to REMOVE it from Windows Explorer navigation and startup.
