Cortana Removal
Currently, you must manually remove Cortana with Powershell :
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.549981C3F5F10 | Remove-AppxPackage
I think we could create a set of startup planned tasks, that would at each startup try to uninstall Cortana, Edge and Teams. What do you think @ntdevlabs, @Illumye ?

As far I know, Edge is already uninstalled but there are some remnants like taskbar and desktop shortcut.
Yes you're right, but it sometimes is installed back after some days / weeks. It comes from windows update.
It would be nice to have all the junk uninstalled that windows updates throws back on randomly through a scheduled job/task.
Why would you want to uninstall Edge? It is so deeply integrated into system, uninstalling it would obviously break something, moreover uninstalling Edge and installing what? Google Chrome?
@s3rj1k in fact I run windows 11 with every trace of edge wiped (sometimes it's back after an update and I delete it again), but there is no issue at all doing this. I was thinking too that it could cause issues (with webviews or things like that) but I've seen no issue for 2 months now. I prefer to remove it because it's not my default browser.
Also I use Firefox after years of using Google chrome.
@ianis58 I think be removing Edge you could possible break corporate HTA based portals. Still seems sub-optimal to remove it again and again after each update.
@s3rj1k I understand your point an I agree with it, I think it depends on the usage/context. It could be an option that can be toggled, but that would require some configuration for tiny11builder. In fact, I forked and heavily modified this tiny11builder repository (it's public in my repos), to make it more robust, and it can be configured to keep/remove more or less applications/packages.
