Removal of Get Help and Mixed Reality Portal

[Christopher Gondi]

I have been unsuccesfull at finding a work around for the removal of Get Help and Mixed Reality Portal apps from 1703 Enterprise.  Is there a way to remove or hide these apps from the start menu?

If you are removing the app in an image, then you would uninstall and deprovision the apps using PowerShell. If the system is already deployed, then you would have to do this for each user that has already logged in, and deprovision the app to prevent any new users getting the app.

I believe the issue here is that, at least as of 1703, both the apps mentioned are considered system apps that can't be removed via PowerShell. Is there a workaround to the system-app classification?

Because the Mixed Reality Shell is built directly into the Windows 10 desktop, some components including Mixed Reality Portal are actually part of the OS and cannot be removed as an app.
