Group Policy settings to specify default Windows Store Apps?
Any plans for this? It'd be nice to get away from removing these with a script during the image process. For those that weren't removed, it makes it difficult after the fact. I'd like to specify which default ones are allowed and which aren't (Weather vs. Candy Crush).

Remember that there are two sets of apps: Those provisioned into the OS (e.g. Mail) and those that are pushed down from the Windows Store (e.g. Twitter or Candy Crush). For those provisioned in the OS, you have to remove the ones you don't want. (See another thread that talks about these not coming back starting with Windows 10 1709.) For those pushed down from the store, you can turn that off using the "Disable consumeratization features" GPO setting.
