Windows 10 Which AppXPackage can be removed without causing system problems?

[Nikolai B]

Hello everyone,

I want a small, clean Image file, before I deploy it to my devices, so I want to delete AppxPackages like 3D-Builder or Cortana. Is there any major system problem when I remove some of the packages?

Also, which packages can I remove without damaging the Windows 10 system?

Thank you very much in advance!!


Regards Nikolai
