3. Ignore any error messages about packages that can't be removed, it's fine.

Somone at slasthdot suggested reading the comments there first. But it appears to work and supposedly removes the microsoft store and other pork/spyware.

Recently, I had to set up a Windows 10 computer for one specific application in a semi-embedded use case. Anything else that Windows does or comes with is unnecessary for this. While there are plenty of internet scripts and apps for de-bloating Windows, I have found the easiest (and little known) way to debloat Windows without running any internet scripts is as follows:

1. Open Powershell.
2. Type Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage.
3. Ignore any error messages about packages that can't be removed, it's fine.

Will this work for everyone? No, of course not, but it's a great one-line, easily memorable tool for cleaning up a PC quickly for an industrial use case without any security risks.
