Is it possible to uninstall default Windows 10 apps with Intune? If so, how?

Question

Through Intune, is it possible to uninstall default Windows 10 apps; like Pandora, X-box and Candy Crush? If so, how?

Answer 1

I found this blog post. It worked for me to uninstall the Eclipse Manager from my Windows 10 device. - Add the app you want to uninstall to your Business Store - Sync your store with Intune - Configure the app in your Intune to uninstall, all devices or users, or based on a group.

It is also possible to uninstall apps using Powershell Configuration Scripts. We do this for one-time uninstalls, which the user can later re-install.

Here is an example where the OneNote App (which is decent) and the OPK installed version of Office 365 (installed by some manufactures) are removed, as they block the Intune installation of Office 365. We also remove the Office Hub app, as it only confuses our users:

if (Test-Path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office *\') {
    Write-Host 'No need to remove blocking apps, Office is already installed.'
}
else {
    Write-Host 'Uninstalling Apps that block the Office Installer.'
    $Packages = Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object {
        $_.DisplayName -in 'Microsoft.Office.OneNote','Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub','Microsoft.Office.Desktop'
    }
    $Packages | Remove-AppProvisionedPackage -AllUsers -ErrorAction Continue
}

Here is the Intune Powershell Documentation:

Here is a wonderful blog post that further explains how to remove built-in apps:
