Hi FJ,

I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

Removing can be executed with this command:

In the search,

type powershell, right-click it and choose run as administrator.

Execute:

Get-appxpackage -allusers *Microsoft.WindowsStore* | Remove-AppxPackage -allusers

Hope that helps.

Hello, this is Emily.

This is unfortunately due to a change Microsoft made in Sept 2021. After version 1511, this solution wouldn't work for Pro edition, it will only work for enterprise/education edition.

Are these devices enrolled in Microsoft Intune? If so, you can use Policy CSP to make this happen instead. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/confi...

Otherwise you can also consider uninstalling it via Powershell.

Get-AppxPackage *windowsstore* | Remove-AppxPackage

First, you should list the installed apps to identify the app names and their package names. Use the following command to list all installed apps:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Select-Object Name, PackageFullName

After identifying the app and its package full name, you can use the Remove-AppxPackage command to uninstall it.Replace "PackageFullName" with the actual package name of the app you want to uninstall.

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq 'YourAppName' } | Remove-AppxPackage

Replace 'YourAppName' with the name of the app you want to uninstall. Repeat this step for each app you want to remove.

To uninstall these apps for all user profiles on the computer, you can use a ForEach loop to iterate through all user profiles and uninstall the app for each profile.

$AppPackageName = "YourAppPackageFullName"

$AllUserProfiles = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_UserProfile | Where-Object { $_.Special -eq $false }

foreach ($UserProfile in $AllUserProfiles) {
    $UserProfilePath = $UserProfile.LocalPath
    $UserProfileSID = $UserProfile.SID

    # Uninstall the app for the current user profile
    Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {
        Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -User $Using:UserProfileSID | Where-Object { $_.PackageFullName -eq $Using:AppPackageName } | Remove-AppxPackage
    }

    Write-Host "Uninstalled app for user profile: $UserProfilePath"
}

Replace "YourAppPackageFullName" with the package name of the app you want to uninstall.

Save the script to a .ps1 file and run it with administrative privileges.

Hello Caleb, this is Emily.

By design, you can only disable the Microsoft Store via group policy if you run enterprise or education edition of Windows. Otherwise there's no way to disable it via group policy. You might find some information on the internet to remove it by powershell code, but it is strongly recommended against, because the store app is a core component, by removing it, it can cause update issue with apps, or some other related issue. And it will be reinstalled when Windows update.
