My issue is the Solitaire and games. We have Win11 for Business (Switching to Enterprise soon) and I have to run a powershell script during Intune/oobe to rip out all the bloat.
Windows 11 ships with a shitty featureless version of the remote desktop client. You have to download the “real” or “full” version from the Windows app store.
I found this out incidentally a few weeks ago and it is annoying having the app you need and some random imposter app with the same name clogging up search / start menu.
I’m all for less bloat ware, but come one. The camera app or remote desktop are the least shitty ones. Its borderline to call them even bloatware.
To be clear, they seem to be saying that those apps will still be preinstalled. They’ll just be easier to uninstall if you want to do so.
"option for the first time to uninstall the Camera app, Cortana app, Photos app, People app, and the Remote Desktop client. "
I thought they dropped support for Cortana. Is she back (maybe as “The Weapon”)?

my work is transitioning to it soon, I’ll have to find similar scrips soonish.
I have an amazing resource for this kinda stuff. As soon as I an remember it and find it I’ll drops comment here.
would appreciate it, thanks!!
Here you go if you aren’t using PSAppDeploy to deploy software in your Org you’re doing it wrong ;).
They’ve got Remediation scripts and PSAppDeploy scripts for a LOT of applications

Have they fixed the store version so it can do multiple monitors yet? Also local folder redirects?
one mans bloat is another mans treasure
Agreement. But they are not removing them so much as adding the option to uninstall them right? So functionally it’s thereof needed still.
