Any way to keep the new Outlook and Dev Home from auto installing?

Maybe I have missed it, but I can't find a way to keep the new Outlook and Dev Home from automatically installing on Windows 10 22H2.
 
This was a recently added NTLite feature. Settings / Tasks (UScheduler)

Dev Home, Edge, and Outlook are self-explanatory.
LXP is for updating Language Experience Packs (which is an optional Appx version of a Language Pack).

I don't recall what the other ones do, but if it ain't broke then you don't need to risk playing with them.

Hm, true, they handle it different in 11 vs 10.
If you could, please try removing 'Content Delivery Manager' component, it helps for many after setup forced deployments, maybe it's still used for DevHome in Win10.
Otherwise I'll test this these days.
 
I believe this is the registry key that auto installs the Dev Home app.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\ProvisionApplications\Incoming\Microsoft.Windows.DevHome_8wekyb3d8bbwe]
"StoreId"="9N8MHTPHNGVV"

After removing it the app no longer installs. I was also able to modify it to install other apps.

That's great, will expand (and rename) the UScheduler to include this as well.
