So microsoft store updated itself even though I disabled automatic updates and It installed edgewebview which caused multiple services of same name running.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AarSvc_2a03c
BcastDVRUserService_2a03c
BluetoothUserService_2a03c
CaptureService_2a03c
cbdhsvc_2a03c
CDPUserSvc_2a03c
ConsentUxUserSvc_2a03c
CredentialEnrollmentManagerUserSvc_2a03c
DeviceAssociationBrokerSvc_2a03c
DevicePickerUserSvc_2a03c
DevicesFlowUserSvc_2a03c
MessagingService_2a03c
OneSyncSvc_2a03c
PimIndexMaintenanceSvc_2a03c
PrintWorkflowUserSvc_2a03c
UdkUserSvc_2a03c
UnistoreSvc_2a03c
UserDataSvc_2a03c
WpnUserService_2a03c

Problem is deleting or stopping the key doesn't work as it comes back on restart. All of these services are creating Svchost in task manager and taking memory. Sfc/Scan also don't help. How can I remove these services? The way I see it windows registry is somehow corrupted and creating duplicates with each reboot no just taking memory but also using SSD to write new entries.
How come people are still unable to remove apps from Microsoft store library?

    Hello

    I understand your concerns. Let’s address them one by one.

     

    Removing Duplicate Services: The duplicate services you’re seeing are likely due to a feature in Windows 10 and later versions called “per-user services”. Each user on the system will have their own instance of these services, which is why you’re seeing duplicates.

     

    To remove a service, you can use the sc delete command in Command Prompt. Here’s how:

     

    Open Command Prompt as an administrator.

    Type sc delete <service_name> and press Enter.

    Please replace <service_name> with the name of the service you want to delete. Be careful while doing this, as deleting the wrong service could cause system instability.

     

    If the service reappears after a restart, it’s likely being recreated by Windows. In this case, it might be better to disable the service instead of deleting it.

     

    Removing Apps from Microsoft Store Library: Currently, Microsoft Store does not support the removal of apps from the library. The library keeps a record of all apps you’ve installed, even if they’ve been uninstalled from your device. This is designed to make it easy for you to reinstall apps without having to search for them again.

     

    However, you can hide uninstalled apps from view in the library. Here’s how:

     

    Open Microsoft Store and click on the “Library” option.

    At the right-hand side of the page, just above your app list, tap on the “Sort and filter” menu.

    Select the “Show installed products only” option.

    This will hide all uninstalled apps from view in the library.

     

    I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
