This is intentional because Get Started is an application that's provisioned as a system application rather than an application you can remove from within the OS.
It's part of C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy so removing this will have various side effects to your OS as the main component powers quite a lot of stuff due to its modularity, and will break Windows Sandbox as well.
Uninstalling the built-in Microsoft Edge already breaks Windows Sandbox, so uninstalling the Start Menu, Touch Keyboard, Screen Snipping, and more will break that even more, possibly including your own OS, that is, if you don't use Windows Sandbox.
This is required to open Firefox from Windows Search, Widgets, Cortana, Mail app, and many other in-box Microsoft apps.
good mandont use widgets cortana or mail app or any other microsoft app![]()
Doesn't work for me, Teams always appear when doing a clean install and system has internet connectivity. What exactly did you do??Today i added these commands to setupcomplete. it disabled microsoftteams and microsoftedge (edge only! not webview since we need it) installaton and blocks future installations...
system is clean on online install, no tray icons, no startuptasks to update or install them.
I reached my goal of clean stable fast windows 11. with the preset i shared, +replacing empty start.bin and these commands. its adware free. the only thing missing is contextmenu editor. but atleast i added my own menu
the now discontinued autodesk sketchbook is my to go replacement of paint, to be honest, ever since this motion to turn perfectly working programs into buggy 'apps'. after many twists and turns until I found its .msi bundle was broken beyond repair, I remember to try the simplest solution of all: Unpack the thing and try to run the program inside.good man. i use paint frequently for quick cropping and prtscn because it loads faster than gimp, snipping tool and clock/calendar gadgets(might put them on w10 thanks to winaero) n thats it.
Also add theseDoesn't work for me, Teams always appear when doing a clean install and system has internet connectivity. What exactly did you do??
