We're getting ready to release our first Windows 10 build. It will be for
kiosk terminals for the public to use.
I'm trying to secure the Start Menu and I'm just about there.
How can I remove or hide the "Contact Support", "Search" and "Windows Feedback"
Universal Apps?
I don't seem to be able to uninstall them as they are "part of the operating
system". So, how do I prevent users from getting to them?
AppX Deployment operation failed for package
Microsoft.WindowsFeedback_10.0.10240.16393_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy with
error 0x80073CFA. The specific error
text for this failure is: error 0x80070032: AppX Deployment Remove operation on
package
Microsoft.WindowsFeedback_10.0.10240.16393_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy from:
C:\WINDOWS\SystemApps\WindowsFeedback_cw5n1h2txyewy failed. This app is part of
Windows and cannot be uninstalled on a
per-user basis. An administrator can
attempt to remove the app from the computer using Turn Windows Features on or
off.
However, it may not be possible to
uninstall the app.
How can I remove the "Search Windows" from the Taskbar?
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have about 300 of
these currently running Windows 7 that we want to roll to Windows 10, so Group
Policy is preferable but anything that could be scripted would work.
