Customizing, Deploying and Sysprepping Windows 10 v1709 PRO
Check out this link and review the bottom of the thread regarding Powershell cmds to remove the apps. You'll have to script this within you TS to ensure they don't install. Once disabled, and after upgrading to 1709, any further updates "should not" (according to MS) re-install them.

Thank you Jason for your reply! We tried the powershell scripts to remove them, it does remove them, but unfortunately they come back after the automatic updates the the quarterly releases. We haven't found a solution to the problem yet. I have a test account with Azure, but not a lot of luck managing the PCs with it. If anyone else has any other suggestions, your input would be appreciated!
