In the second step the applications will be removed for the current user who has already got the applications installed before it was removed from the base image. In step one, you remove the application from the base Windows 10 image so that new users will not get the applications at all. The way to remove the built-in applications is pretty easy, it consists of two steps. And that makes these applications superfluous, the removal of these applications must therefore always be an option is my opinion. OneNote, Calendar and Mail are very useful Apps, but by most companies there will always be a Microsoft Office Suite be installed on the device. (no uninstall option when right click on Xbox App) The following Apps cannot be removed by default (see screenshot below) Calendar, Camera, Contact Support, Groove Music, Mail, Maps, Movies & TV, OneNote, People, Weather, Windows Feedback and Xbox.
Apps like Microsoft Solitaire Collection, a Weather App and even a Xbox App which you can not even remove.
The first time I was using Windows 10 Enterprise I was a little surprised about the built-in apps which were installed by default. So far this was only the Windows 10 Professional version but when Windows 10 was official released, I got my hands on the Windows 10 Enterprise edition. From the very beginning I took part of the Windows Insider program and tested build by build.
