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?

    I'm pretty sure that Calculator and the photo viewer are now Windows Store apps in Windows 10. I say this, because the Windows Store got messed up on my PC after a Windows update late last year, and I could no longer launch calculator or double-click on images until it was fixed. (The Windows 10 "anniversary update" seemed to fix whatever had gone wrong.) If you remove all Windows store apps, then your users may lose the ability to open/preview images from Windows Explorer. If your users ever have to deal with photos, or scanned documents produced internally or received from elsewhere, make sure you give them an alternative.
