Does somebody know how to uninstall system appx integrated with Windows 8.1? I mean:

Checkpoint.VPN

f5.vpn.client

Filemanager

JuniperNetworksJunosPulseVPn

MoCamera

SonicWallMobileconnect

windows.immersivecontrolpanel
winstore

With PowerShell it is not possible (errors are generated).

Best Regards.

If this is in a domain, and controlled by AD, why is there not a group policy that denies that particular AD group downloading privs?

This is not something you turn off on individual systems, but rather at the AD level.

Hi,
They are native to W8.1 ISO. you can test it with powershell
Get-AppxPackage -allusers
In fact winstore is Win8.1 store where you can install new applications.
When you try to uninstall using Remove-AppxPackage the error is HRESULT:0x80073CFA
Thanks in advance.

OK, yes.
VPN and other software built into the OS.

Why are you trying to remove them? They do nothing unless you were to specifically enable them.

We are hardening the system. Store let users download applications and vpn could be used in bad way. We don't need these functionalities in the system. Any help?

OK, that's a whole different thing.
1. Need much more context on this. Where is this system and what is it used for?
2. Why are random users allowed to download applications?
3. Removing random bits of the OS is not the answer

Systems are used for users in a private network with active directory. Users can run windows store although they are domain users and with these kind of actions you can have an operating system more similar to windows 7 and more secure.

Why are they allowed to install random applications?
Is this a business and employees?
Or is this an internet cafe or similar?

Context, please.

No they are not allowed to install but they can download because in W8.1 you can launch winstore.
Business and employees
No an organization
