For some reason it crashed my PC.
Well, the script is almost 2 years old though.
Worked for me Windows 10 1903. Complained that PeopleExperienceHost could not be uninstalled but that was about it. Make sure you run this from a admin elevated command prompt.
@v1vcodes Thanks! I did forgot to mention that this needs to run in an admin shell. I figured it went without saying since it's removing core packages but I've added it to the script
