How do I remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu?

-

so 3 separate builds of wtp i've run powershell command remove metro/modern/universal/windows apps. each build, removes start menu. in thread below, ms support person mentioned that command windows 8.x , shouldn't run on wtp. what? why command still available? and, why remove metro/modern/universal/windows apps, not others? marked system required? why isn't start menu marked system required? you'd think start menu pretty important.

so, start menu being xaml app, how safely remove metro/modern/universal/windows apps without removing start menu? have no use them , don't want them on computer. period. there has command 1 used in windows 8.x allow use remove metro/modern/universal/windows apps without removing start menu.

don't give answer "just right-click , uninstall". doesn't work of these things, , know how long takes of silly things? long! that's not practical enterprise desktop. it's not practical leave of junk on desktop, don't suggest either.

sorry. didn't mean imply developers powershell.

no need sorry, gave me vehicle have rant :)

but in eyes, it's programming language.

you're right, - programming people (for reasons unknown
me) must think decent programming language hard.

i couldn't agree more.

with devops...

oh that's of faddy terms industry loves invent
make things sound interesting :)

bring gui!
