组合多个Powershell命令

Question

I am trying to remove some of the superfluous applications that come with Windows 10 and currently using the below command, for example, if I want to remover 3D Builder, I use:

Get-AppxPackage *3dbuilder* | Remove-AppxPackage

Similarly, if I need to remove other applications, I need to keep reusing the above command replacing the app name. Is there a way to remove multiple applications with a single command? I do not want to write a powershell script as I need to set the execution policy.

The other option is to use this as shown below, but, I would want to see what I remove.

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage

Given what you have described, I'd use a regex match against the package name:

First, run this to verify what you are about to remove:

Get-AppXPackage | Where-Object { $_.Name -imatch "(3dbuilder|package2|package3)$" }  | Remove-AppxPackage -WhatIf

Then, remove the -WhatIf to actually have Remove-AppXPackage run.

The regex I show above does essentially an ends-with match. It looks for the packages with names that end with "3dbuilder", "package2", or "package3". You can add or remove package names from the list, using the Pipe symbol to separate them. This is because it appears there are some random-ish characters in front of the package names that you probably don't want to type in.

Regexes can match greedily, so be sure to run with -WhatIf first to verify you are only removing what you want!
