I'm all for less bloat ware, but come one. The camera app or remote desktop are the least shitty ones. Its borderline to call them even bloatware.

My issue is the Solitaire and games. We have Win11 for Business (Switching to Enterprise soon) and I have to run a powershell script during Intune/oobe to rip out all the bloat.

But Windows always came with Solitaire - even 30+ years ago. It was included originally to teach users how to use a mouse. Solitaire makes you click, double click and drag.

Removing Solitaire caused its own backlash. They can't win with that one.

Here you go if you aren't using PSAppDeploy to deploy software in your Org you're doing it wrong ;).

They've got Remediation scripts and PSAppDeploy scripts for a LOT of applications

PSAppDeploy: https://github.com/PSAppDeployToolkit/PSAppDeployToolkit

Scripts: https://silentinstallhq.com/detection-scripts/

PSAppDeploy works great within both SCCM and Intune App Deployment
