I'm having similar issues but with the Store in 10 Pro, plus some of the games keep coming back.

I'm creating a Powershell script that will remove the apps and I'm going to have it run each time they log in. Store is a royal pain in the *** though.

Cortana can be managed through local / group policy. It's like one setting. So is the Store. In fact I think the policy for the Store is "use store (enabled / disabled"

Enterprise and Education editions only, at least since the 1607 update. Pro version is stupidly limited

Another thing that annoys me with Windows 10 - I'd happily but the pro edition over the home edition if it let me take me control without lots of messing about - even if they insist on having the home edition do more automated stuff :|
