Windows 10 Servicing Plan upgrades and bundled Apps

[SteveH]

I've been testing out pushing the Win 10 1607 update via a Servicing plan and discovered that the apps I remove using DISM during the initial build task sequence have come back. I'm trying to figure out the best way to re-remove the apps. It'd be great if there was a "run this package after the update is completed" option for the servicing plan, but since there isn't (that I've seen) here's what I've come up with as options:

 

Deploy an application containing a script to remove the apps to all Windows 10 systems with a requirement of version 1607, then it would run after they meet the criteria.

 

Drop using the Servicing Plan and use a task sequence to deploy the update, then remove the apps as a following step in the TS.

 

Remove the applications in question offline, then push the upgrade using a task sequence.

 

Anyone else have any better ideas? Thanks!
