I'm seeing the exact same thing. The fact that this post is over 40 days old and not a single reply is concerning. It's frustrating because Microsoft saw this was a problem, implemented a fix, and now ignores it. Every feature update feels like 2 steps forward, 2 steps back. I'm sitting here with thousands of enterprise computers running 1709 staring at an end of life date with no clear path forward because of things like this. Windows 10 has been out for almost 5 years now, at what point can we expect things to stop being broken?
APPX Packages disabled in 1809 WIM - returning after 1909 Upgrade
Hello,
I have removed all but roughly 10 APPX packages from the WIM we use during SCCM deployment. The packages are disabled, they are not in the Start menu, and all is working fine in 1809. Here is the 'before' result of Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage:
Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online | select displayname

Microsoft.HEIFImageExtension
Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes
Microsoft.MSPaint
Microsoft.VP9VideoExtensions
Microsoft.WebMediaExtensions
Microsoft.WebpImageExtension
Microsoft.Windows.Photos
Microsoft.WindowsAlarms
Microsoft.WindowsCalculator
After upgrading to 1909, again using SCCM, APPX packages are being restored. I know before 1709 there was a problem that required the addition of the disabled packages to a registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\Deprovisioned], but that after 1803 that was not necessary. I have been adding it to the registry in the image anyway, just to be sure. However, that doesn't seem to help in this case, because all of the 1909 upgraded computers have the APPX packages back. Here is the 'after' result of Get-ProvisoinedAppxPackage on the same computer, after 1909 installed:
Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online | select displayname

Can you please tell me what the precise method is to keep APPX packages that were removed from the WIM from being restored during the 1909 upgrade?
Thank you
