Hello Thio, just three more quick thoughts I wanted to share...

1st:
You could automate the output to both create and open the file making it easier for the User to edit the list.
The following would provide a clean output to the file: Out-File

  • $AppxList = (Get-AppxPackage | Select-Object Name).Name | Out-File .\list.txt

Either of the following opens the text file with the default text editor (Notepad): Start-Process

  • Start-Process -FilePath .\list.txt or Start-Process .\list.txt or Start-Process notepad.exe .\list.txt

2nd:
Consider using an exclusion list to filter out packages when building a new list for removals. This would require a more manual process to prevent accidental changes to it. The exclusion list remains static and not overwritten, while the list of packages for removal is overwritten with each output. The User can just copy and rename the output file and edit it manually.

3rd:
Consider combining the ability to remove both AppxPackage's and AppxProvisionedPackage's:

  • Get-AppxPackage : Gets a list of the app packages that are installed in a user profile.
  • Get-AppxProvisionedPackage: Gets information about app packages (.appx) in an image that will be installed for each new user.

Why did you sign this with SHA-1 when the certificate supports up to SHA-256? 🤔

Ah good catch, I guess for some reason the Digicert Signing Tool signs with Sha-1 by default. I've just updated with a version using sha256

Ha. I realized just now that youtube-dl Easy Script.ps1 was signed using the same algorithm.

If you just want to list the installed packages, you can simply run this command:
Get-AppxPackage | Select Name, PackageFullName | Out-Host
