In an enterprise environment where I control the apps that I install for my users, what are the ramifications of removing the Windows store and all of its apps from my Windows 10 setups?

  Microsoft obviously put the Windows Store in the Enterprise edition for a reason. Who are you to tell them they're wrong, when you're using their OS? If you completely disagree with their design decisions so much, then why are you using it?

  Either trust your vendor, or find another one.

  Windows 10 is the flexible OS. Customizations can include adding applications, modifying icons and Start layouts, configuring network settings by using device management, changing defaults in Settings, and adding brand-specific art and sounds to the OS. Windows 10 supports both the pre-existing desktop Unattend and mobile Managed Centralized Settings Framework (MCSF) customization frameworks for configuring customizations for Windows 10 devices.
