"Interesting" question for the devs.

In trying to setup a lab image I'm modifying the StateRepository-Machine.srd in order to remove:

Microsoft.PPIProjection
Microsoft.Windows.HolographicFirstRun
Windows.ContactSupport
Windows.MiracastView

I'm able to get the apps removed successfully and build out my image. The last thing I attempt is the installation and configuration of UPM.

I do an initial profile configuration using "User A". All software is installed as that user. And the four removed apps never reappear when using that account.

I then assign "User A's" profile to "User B" and restart. When "User B" logs on these four apps are shown in the Start Menu and upon clicking them they are installed. Haven't been able to track down what process associated with UPM might cause this and was hoping for a point in the right direction.
