Add Remove Pinned Store from Taskbar and Dropbox promotion

[marnold-sysadmin]

Thoughts on adding to the debloat script.

Remove Pinned Taskbar Microsoft Store

$apps = (New-Object -Com Shell.Application).NameSpace('shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}').Items() $finalname = $null

foreach ($app in $apps) { $appname = $app.Name if ($appname -like "store") { $finalname = $app.Name break # Optional: Break if you only need the first match } }

if ($null -ne $finalname) { $verbs = ((New-Object -Com Shell.Application).NameSpace('shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}').Items() | Where-Object {$.Name -eq $finalname}).Verbs() $unpinVerb = $verbs | Where-Object {$.Name.replace('&','') -match 'Unpin from taskbar'} if ($null -ne $unpinVerb) { $unpinVerb.DoIt() $exec = $true } else { Write-Host "Unpin verb not found for $finalname." } } else { Write-Host "No application matching 'store' found." }

Also there is a Dropbox Promotion that I would see useful to add.

Removing Dropbox Promotion using wildcard for version flexibility

$dropboxPromoPackages = Get-AppxPackage -Name "C27EB4BA.DropboxOEM*" foreach ($pkg in $dropboxPromoPackages) { Remove-AppxPackage -Package $pkg.PackageFullName Write-Host "Removed Dropbox Promotion package: $($pkg.PackageFullName)" }

I don't think the unpin store option will work as the system user?

Yea i think you are correct. My testing didnt work until i ran the script on a user profile not as an admin.

I'll add the wildcard on dropbox though. I add the unpin store as a user script in Intune if it helps
