The Win32 app _MSFT - EDU - Device - Remove Microsoft Apps failing to run successfully

[peckben279]

First, thanks for all of these resources from a sizable US school district trying to migrate to Intune!

We assigned the Win32 app _MSFT - EDU - Device - Remove Microsoft Apps to a device group of Windows 10 22H2 machines and made it one of 5 apps in our enrollment status page for Autopilot to install and it seems to be failing. Looking at the scripts' logs at c:\windows\temp\apps.txt it seems it cannot remove the Windows.YourPhone app, and so the detection script continues to detect it and re-runs the install, eventually it fails and eventually fails the Autopilot deployment.

It seems Windows.YourPhone is no longer removeable? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/why-can-t-i-uninstall-the-your-phone-app-1c0ac9f4-26a2-7e5c-ec76-feb9e715db59

I commented out this app in both scripts and rebuilt the Win32 and seems to work without issue.

Thanks for the comment. I'd have to go back and test with Windows 10 22H2. I do know that with Windows 11 23H2 it works (just built a machine yesterday and the log looks good). Your Phone (now Phone Link) is removed.
