[W10] Cannot sysprep Windows 10 installation

Check sysprep logs to review each modern application that needs to be removed

Remove them from Store program list

or 

1. Run the Import-Module Appx PowerShell cmdlet.
2. Run Import-Module Dism.
3. Run Get-AppxPackage -AllUser | Where PublisherId -eq 8wekyb3d8bbwe | Format-List -Property PackageFullName,PackageUserInformation.
   
   Notes
   • In the output of this last cmdlet, check the users for whom the package is showing up as Installed. Delete these user accounts from the reference computer, or log on to the computer by using these user accounts. Then, run the cmdlet in step 4 to remove the Appx package.
   • This command lists all packages that were published by Microsoft and installed by any user of that reference computer. Because the computer is to be sysprepped, we assume that these user profiles no longer require the package.
   • If you have manually provisioned apps that belong to other publishers, run the following command to list them:
     
     Get-AppxPackage -AllUser | Format-List -Property PackageFullName,PackageUserInformation
   • 
     
4. Run Remove-AppxPackage -Package <packagefullname>.
5. Remove the provisioning by running the following cmdlet:
   
   Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackageName <packagefullname>
