Remove all the Windows 8 built in/Modern apps using PowerShell

Firstly, run PowerShell as administrator

Next run the below command:-

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers

Then run the below command to remove the apps from the current user and new users that logon. Old user accounts will have to be removed or you have to run this task on each one.

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage

New accounts will also log on a lot quicker as it’s not having to set up all the apps.

Also, you can disable the App Readiness service that “Gets apps ready for use the first time a user signs in to this PC and when adding new apps”. To do this do the following.

Press Windows Key and R and type services.msc

Then double click on the service called “App Readiness”.

Click the drop down menu for Startup type and click disabled and click ok.
