Recently, ive been getting errors when trying to uninstall certain. Oddly enough, notepad is one of them. Im using canary builds, and maybe something broke in one of the new releases. Dies this happen to anyone else, and is there a way i can debug the error and figure out why this is happening? this didnt occur before.

i removed the troublesome apps that cause errors to help with debugging. when certain packages are trying to be uninstalled, powershell will say Error and freeze the script from running further.

im not a point and click kind of guy. i like CLI and making scripts for efficiency.

this recently started happening and i feel microsoft has hardened these apps to make it more difficult to remove them. this never happened before. it started several canary builds ago.

There are many packages you can't (or aren't supposed to) remove... unless you enjoy having a broken desktop.

Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost​

Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.CBS​

MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS​

ive definitely removed the StartMenuExperienceHost before. i habitually right click the start button instead. i dont use the start menu at all or its search functions.
