Remove the Store/access in Win 10 Pro

[AHarvey]

Hi all,

Bunch of Win10 Pro PC's that I've been asked to lockdown.

Removed a lot of the bloat using Powershell, including the Store.

But, if the user searches for Solitaire, for example, they can then access it via the store.

I've tried editing the group policy on the machine:

Computer > admin templates > Windows Components > Store >

Disable all apps from Windows Store is only for edu/ent editions
Turn of the store application - pro edition but doesn't work.

I've still got a load of other things to look at an trying to work purely with Powershell to make it faster when setting up new machines, I can have them just run a script.

IIRC there is a GPO setting under Windows Update, it'll say something in the description about breaking Windows store.

I had it enabled on the early release of Windows and the Store app wouldn't load.
