Title: Minecraft EDU
Post by: dfinney on June 07, 2019, 03:22:51 PM

Anyone used the newly released version of Minecraft Education Edition on C2K.


Its amazing, its rock solid compared to the free EDU version we had to install ourselves.

Does anyone know how to uninstall it?

There's nothing listed in Add/Remove Programs and rebuilding the workstation doesn't work because once downloaded it adds it to Altiris.

Thanks.

Would removing the group stop people using it?

I don't know if that Minecraft group is for allowing install or use.

I made an inquiry about removing or blocking minecraft yesterday, im told once its installed it cant be blocked because of 'the way win10 installs apps' and a policy cant be created because of that.

You can use power shell to remove it but like already said Altiris will re-install it even after a rebuild.

The group is only to allow install. once installed, then everyone can use it.

Carpita have an uninstall script.  They can run another script to detect which workstations have MC installed, and then run the uninstall to target them.  Obv they need to be powered on.

If you run the following 2 lines of powershell it will remove it just in case you find any with it still on it:
 
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | where packagename -like "Microsoft.MinecraftEducationEdition_1.4.0.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe" | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers "Microsoft.MinecraftEducationEdition_1.4.0.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe" | Remove-AppxPackage ?AllUsers
