# Component Manager

Manage components (`packages`, `optional features`, `capabilities`) easily within a single tool. It currently gets the lists of all components using three background jobs, which means that the lists won't instantly appear on startup. I used `Start-Job`, since the GUI would otherwise take ~`30` seconds to load.

Default `24H2 (Build 26100.1742)` components:

> [AppX.txt](https://github.com/5Noxi/CompMan/blob/main/AppX.txt)

> 

> [Optional.txt](https://github.com/5Noxi/CompMan/blob/main/Optional.txt)

> [Capabilities.txt](https://github.com/5Noxi/CompMan/blob/main/Capabilities.txt) 

## __AppX Packages Tab:__

Get all of your current packages with:

```ps

Get-AppxPackage

```

If you're on any LTSC version (no preinstalled UWP apps) then there's probably not much to remove, since most of the leftovers are `Non Removeable`. If you're on a non LTSC version, remove whatever you want, e.g.:

```ps

$apps = @(

    "Microsoft.BingNews",

    "Microsoft.BingWeather",

    "Microsoft.GetHelp",

    "Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub",

    "Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes",

    "Microsoft.Todos",

    "Microsoft.WindowsAlarms",

    "Microsoft.WindowsCamera",

    "Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub",

    "Microsoft.WindowsSoundRecorder",

    "Microsoft.YourPhone",

    "Microsoft.ZuneMusic",

    "MSTeams"

)

$apps | % {Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Name $_ | Remove-AppxPackage}

```

> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/appx/add-appxpackage?view=windowsserver2025-ps

> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/appx/remove-appxpackage?view=windowsserver2025-ps

## __Optional Features Tab:__

Get all information about the optional features with

```ps

Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName * | Format-List *

```

Disable whatever you don't need, like all `Printing*` features, if you don't use your PC for printing. Other examples:

```ps

$defeatures = @(

    # Printing

    'Printing-Foundation-InternetPrinting-Client',

    'Printing-Foundation-LPDPrintService',

    'Printing-Foundation-LPRPortMonitor',

    'Printing-PrintToPDFServices-Features',

    'Printing-XPSServices-Features',

    'Printing-Foundation-Features',

    'WorkFolders-Client',

    # Other

    'Recall',

    'SmbDirect',

    'MSRDC-Infrastructure',

    'Windows-Defender-Default-Definitions',

    'Microsoft-RemoteDesktopConnection',

    'Microsoft-Hyper-V-Hypervisor',

    # PowerShell 2.0 (deprecated)

    'MicrosoftWindowsPowerShellV2',

    'MicrosoftWindowsPowerShellV2Root'

)

$enfeatures= @(

    'LegacyComponents',

    'DirectPlay'

)

$defeatures | % {Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName $_ -Online -NoRestart}

$enfeatures| % {Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName $_ -Online -NoRestart}

```

## __Capabilities Tab:__

Get all information about the capabilities with:

```ps

Get-WindowsCapability -Online -Name * | Format-List *

```

Removal depends on what capabilities you use on your system. Some features can be safely removed on any system, like `PowerShell ISE`, `StepsRecorder`. You can also use it to add/remove language packages. Examples:

```ps

$capabilities = @(

    "Microsoft.Windows.PowerShell.ISE*",

    "MathRecognizer*",

    "App.StepsRecorder*",

    #"*SnippingTool*", # If using Lightshot

    "*MSPaint*",

    #"*Notepad*", # If using Notepad++

    "*Wallpapers.Extended*",

    "*Hello.Face*"

    #"Microsoft.Windows.Wifi*" # Remove built‑in WiFi support

)

$capabilities | % {Get-WindowsCapability -Online -Name $_ | Remove-WindowsCapability -Online}

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name 'WMIC~~~~'

```
