Hello,

I created and captured a Windows 10 Reference Build. During my build process I removed some of the Windows 10 built in Apps using a PS command. I made some changes to the profile. When I bring down the image I am seeing the profile changes are there but the built in Apps are back! I was unable to find a place in the unattended file to remove these apps. So does that mean I need to remove these apps each time I build new computer or do I need to do it a different way?<o:p></o:p>

Thanks

There are "provisioned" apps in Windows 8, 8.1, and 10. These provisioned apps get installed automatically for each user when the log in. So removing them from the currently logged-on user before capturing an image doesn't really do much good, as you've noticed - they'll install for the next user anyway.

To get rid of them, you need to remove the provisioned apps (machine level).  See http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/archive/2013/10/21/removing-windows-8-1-built-in-applications.aspx for an example script to do this (needs tweaked for the different app list in Windows 10).
