remove windows 10 pre-installed bloat

[SimonGr]

Hi.

We have bought some HP 290 G1 SFF Business desktops with Windows 10 Pro pre-installed.
This is all fine except for the pre-installed bloat that Windows 10 Pro comes with (Netflix, LinkedIn, bookin.com etc etc).
Now build 1903 lets us manually un-install those, however when a new user logs in they re-appear again, so it seems like the uninstall option actually doesn't uninstall the app but only removes it from the current logged in user.

Is there any way to permanently remove all this junk?
You'd think as it's WIndows 10 Pro pre-installed on a business model PC it wouldn't come with all that stuff.

Greetings,

Welcome back to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

Have you tried using Group Policy Editor (Link)? This tweak is available on my W10 Pro version.

I also have a "Disable Apps option.

i don't think that appears to be a solution, as that only seems to block access to the apps.

i don't want the apps installed and require them to be permanently physically removed for all users.

Hi:

The only way I know of to do it, would be to clean install W10 using the media creation tool and pick and choose what apps you want installed from the PC's support page.

That's what I have always done on all of my HP business class desktops and notebooks since windows XP came out.

I don't want anything on my PC's including the security software.

I delete everything including the recovery partition.
