For conventional desktop applications such as chrome or office, we can remove the shortcuts from all apps
list by right clicking on the icon
, selecting more
, clicking on open file location
and then deleting the start menu shotcut
.
But the same procedure does not work for modern/metro apps
.There are few Windows 10 metro apps like cortana
or contact support
or windows feedback
which I never use and these apps can not be uninstalled at all.
So I would know if there is a way to remove these apps from all apps
list (since it is not possible to uninstall them) or are we locked down even for this simple thing.

To remove all such applications ONLY from your user account (and to not delete something important!), use this command in PowerShell:
Don't worry, in case if you want to get them back, they are not lost - you can find them all in the Store application and redownload them.
But with each new user theese applications will be automatically installed in their profile. To avoid that and get rid of these "provisioned applications" completely, use this command:
The same rule applies - if you want to get the application back - just install it through the Store.
