August Update Installed Unwanted Extra Items

I installed the August update and .net update and also got some extras. I had previously uninstalled OneDrive. I got OneDrive back and also got Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.5 and Microsoft.Windows.DevHome. I again uninstalled OneDrive and after searching decided I did not need Microsoft.DevHome so I uninstalled it too. I did not find much on the AppRuntime.1.5. Did this AppRuntime.1.5 come with the other two updates and it would be OK to uninstall it too, or do I need it for Win10 and need to keep it? I do not do any type of developing or code writing. Also, is there any way to keep from getting these unwanted updates every month? They were not listed when I used wushowhide. I am running Win10 22H2. Thanks in advance. Hopefully there is a copy of the reliability report attached.

You can uninstall Microsoft Windows DevHome with these commands. The first in each group removes it for the Current User, the second for All Users.

Powershell run as Administrator

Get-AppxPackage *Windows.DevHome* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -PackageTypeFilter Bundle -Name "*Windows.DevHome*" | Remove-AppxPackage

Elevated Command Prompt:

PowerShell -command "Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -PackageTypeFilter Bundle -Name "*Windows.DevHome*" | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers"​
powershell -command "Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like '*Windows.DevHome*'} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online"

Thanks for all the replies. I ran the powershell command for all users (me admim and me user).  Been a while since I posted and I do not recall how to mark threasd as resolved

Moderator’s Note: Marked as “RESOLVED” per your request. The way to do it is once you’re signed in, go to the thread you want to mark as “RESOLVED” and go to the bottom of the thread to enter a reply. At the top of the reply area is a drop-down box that says “No Prefix needed, question is still unanswered”. Click that box and you’ll see the word “RESOLVED” show up. Click Resolved, enter a reply in the space for a reply and hit “Submit”. This cannot be done without signing in.

@CT47 , just FYI, the two apps you mentioned (DevHome and AppRuntime 1.5) are UWP apps, so they’re handled/updated through the MS Store. That updater can run at most any time with total disregard to your other Windows Update policies or settings you may have established.

The AppRuntime 1.5 is key to keeping the apps fully able to run should they be called upon, and DevHome, as you’ve found out, is geared towards developers.

I have also gotten DevHome (Beta/Preview, though, for some unknown reason) and haven’t seen any uninstall button in its entry under System Components, nor in the Add/Remove Programs area in Control Panel. Because of that, I’ll use PK’s guidance to remove DevHome since, like you, I have no interest in it.

When I uninstalled Windows.DevHome, from a search I was directed to elevenforum dot com. I did a search on that wbbsite on uninstall Windows.devHome. It gave me the same type of command that PKCano published. Like you I could find no way to do it otherwise.

MS Store auto updates can be disabled as follows:

• Open MS Store
• Click your Profile icon (the small circle to the right of the search box)
• Select Settings
• Turn OFF App updates

To get any new updates after doing this you need to open MS Store, click Library at the lower left and then click the Get updates button at the top right.
