Microsoft really need a Windows Business edition as it just doesn't look good to have Candycrush pre installed on a business PC, and you keep having updates breaking things over and over again. Not to mention having business clients keep asking us why it's so unreliable and why they have to keep paying for us to come and fix it.

 

 

That edition is called Windows 10 Enterprise Edition, which is also now available as a subscription so its obtainable by anyone.

 

What is it in Win10 that is so unreliable that you have to keep going back to fix it?

 

 

 

 

Default install of Windows 10 1607 Enterprise, obtained via VLSC installed Candy Crush and Asphalt 8 and a host of other unwanted/unneeded bloatware that is simply not required in an enterprise environment.

 

(I believe the games may have been shortcuts to the store, but even so, shortcuts to games do not belong in the enterprise)

 

 

 

the latest Windows 10 feature upgrade includes a new feature that automatically installs a few apps from the Windows Store

So how do you get rid of these?  The simplest way is to keep them from installing in the first place.  There are two ways to do that:
1.Don’t create reference images on a computer that is connected to the internet. 
2.Tell Windows to disable these features.

To disable the features, there is a group policy provided under “Computer Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> Windows Components –> Cloud Content” called “Turn off Microsoft consumer experiences”

or this registry key HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent  DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures
