We recently upgraded our systems from Windows 10 LTSC 2019 (1809) to Windows 10 Education (22H2).When we opened the start menu we can see the Microsoft Store and the built in apps are added. The PowerShell script works but only for one user not all so that means we have to individually have to log on to each account to remove them. We have tried adding -allusers to the script but it doesn't work. Is there anyway to remove these apps for all users at the same time. We would like to keep a few apps. The apps are: Calculator, Mail & calendar, Snip & Sketch & Photos.

    Get-AppxPackage -allusers | Remove-AppxPackage

    In Windows 10 version 1809 and later, the above command doesn't work anymore (doesn't remove the apps in other accounts). So, if you want to uninstall all the built-in apps from all the other user accounts, login in separately to each other account and give the command: "Get-AppXPackage | Remove-AppxPackage".
