Any way to keep the new Outlook and Dev Home from auto installing?
- Thread starter ZilchGuy
- Start date
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.
So, just to be clear, which key should I delete from the image to prevent this app from installing at first OS install?
You can remove only Microsoft.Windows.DevHome_8wekyb3d8bbwe or ProvisionApplications I think.
In build 19045.3693 the ProvisionApplications key does not exist, this was included later in some cumulative update.
Hi,, all these have no tip in ntlite, are you able to explain what they do? as to me they not obvious, here is my speculation.
EdgeUpdate, is the webview2 and edge browser update tasks, this to me is the only obvious one.
CrossDeviceUpdate - no idea
DevHomeUpdate - no idea, ok seems there is an app called dev home, so this prevents auto install of the app?
IA - no idea
LXP - store based language packs
TFLUpdate - no idea
