Windows 10: Windows 10 on a domain in a professional work place. Remove tiles and superfluous apps and...

We are beginning to role out Windows 10 Pro into our domain. Because this is a workplace environment, I would like to create GPOs that will remove the tile panel and remove the some of the apps that we feel are inappropriate for the workplace. Apps such as xBox, LinkedIn, Groove have no place in the workplace.


I would like to create a GPO that will check for and remove these apps and apply the GPO to machines rather than users. Basically, anytime a domain user logs into Windows 10 system, these apps will be removed.


Alternatively, if these apps can be permanently removed from all users and assured that they will not return upon new build releases would be acceptable.


Any help or information is appreciated.

I tried your suggestions, but when I got to the 'Apps & Features' list, none of my tiles were listed.

Thank-you for trying to help.

 

windows 10 start menu apps tiles dont work

tiles don't work. already tried:

I suggest you to run Windows Store Apps troubleshooter and check if it fixes the issues.
Follow these steps to run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter:

• Press Windows key + X on the keyboard.
• Click on Control panel.
• Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes in the Control panel search box.
  
• Click on Troubleshooting and click on View all.
  
• Click on Windows Store Apps troubleshooter and follow the on-screen instructions.

To get these apps working again, you’ll need to follow these steps:

• 
  Open powershell as administrator
  
• 
  Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
  

3. Re-install the Mail, People and Calendar apps from the Store (green tile).

troubleshooter said there is no problem and the power shell gave me some error code.

 

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
