Sadly they only removed them from fresh installs not updates. The apps are still available in the store for anyone that wants them as well.

I’d love less crap preinstalled on windows. First thing I do is run a powershell script to basically uninstall all the store apps (even ones you can’t normally uninstall using the add/remove UI). Love to see the Xbox stuff gone. Removing it and having it not throw errors on game launches was a bit of a pain.

It’s just so much junk…
