    Hello all,

    We are upgrading from windows 10 1607 to 1903. After the upgrade all the windows inbuilt applications are back?

    we are deploying through SCCM task sequence.

    Any thought or suggestions?

    Regards

    This behavior is fixed in later versions of Windows 10, but if you're coming from 1607, you'll have to remove the apps again during the the post-processing phase of the feature update task sequence (unless you recreate your upgrade media with the apps already removed). See here for details:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/application-management/remove-provisioned-apps-during-update

    Edit: Actually, it looks like you can use the method in that doc for 1607, but you'll have to create your own registry keys:

    Hi EDGE,

    Please use DISM.exe tool or the DISM cmdlets in Windows PowerShell to remove the apps after the upgrade task to have a try. 

    This is a known issue that was fixed in Windows 10, version 1803. When you update a computer running Windows 10, version 1607, 1703 or 1709, you might see provisioned apps that you previously removed return post-update. The apps might reappear if you removed the packages in one of the following ways:

    If you removed the packages while the wim file was mounted when the device was offline.
    If you removed the packages by running a PowerShell cmdlet on the device while Windows was online. Although the apps won't appear for new users, you'll still see the apps for the user account you signed in as.

    When running a previous Windows 10 version, to prevent these apps from reappearing at the next update, manually create a registry key for each app to tell Windows not to reinstall or update that app the next time Windows is updated, then update the computer.

    For more detailed information, please refer to official article: How to keep apps removed from Windows 10 from returning during an update

    Hope my answer could help you. Thanks for your time.

    Best regards,
    Simon Ren

    Use PowerShell to find the package names. Example:

    Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online

    Then, using the template provided in the doc for 1709, replace the package names in the registry keys with the ones from 1607

    You can use a custom, serviced WIM, you just can't use a custom sysprepped/captured WIM. Many people in the SCCM/MDT/OSD community are now using OSDBuilder for this purpose. You should check it out:

    Hi EDGE,

    Thanks for your reply. I concur with Kevin here. 

    We can use the PowerShell module OSDBuilder to configure the Operating System, it can then be imported in MDT or SCCM and used like any other OS Deployment. This includes being able to use in an Upgrade Task Sequence, which you cannot do with a Captured Image. 

    Please refer to: OSDBuilder

    Thanks and regards,
    Simon
