Windows 11 : Built-In Apps that can be Remove

Windows 11 comes bundled with a some Apps that may or may not be needed in a Corporate environment, these may include App such as Xbox, Video Editor etc.

But removing all those unnecessary Apps maybe troublesome, and worst breaking the "SysPrep" function and further preventing for a mass deployment.

Below are the few Apps that can be removed safely without breaking "SysPrep" functionality. You will need to remove script lines for App(s) that you want to retain.

Copy and save the file as PowerShell Script (.ps1).
