win: fix Win 11 Windows Security app removal #195
This commit fixes the issue of Windows Security app not being removed in
Windows 11. It addresses the problem by extending the app uninstallation
process to cover the new app package specific to Windows 11. It improves
the overall design of templated functions for store app removal to
implement the fix.
- Improve Windows Security removal script:
- Add support for removing `Microsoft.SecHealthUI` in Windows 11.
- Revise script documentation for clarity and correct typos.
- Redesign uninstallion of Store apps:
- Change `UninstallSystemApp` to `UninstallNonRemovableStoreApp` for
wider usage. This change is due to `Microsoft.SecHealthUI` being
non-removable yet not a system app.
- Refactor app data cleanup into two distinct functions
(`ClearStoreAppDataBeforeUninstallation` and
`ClearStoreAppDataAfterUninstallation`) for better clarity and
maintainability. This also helps in testing by allowing easier
reordering of operations.
- Seperate between simple non-removable app uninstallation and
uninstallation with cleanup in separate functions, highlighting that
the latter is more invasive and should be used cautiously. This
addresses permission issues encountered with `SecHealthUI` app
removal during cleanup on Windows 11.
- Separate uninstalling app and uninstalling app with cleanup to
different functions, document that cleanup should no longer be
prefered as it's invasive and too aggresive. Cleanup logic
introduces permission issues/errors for `SecHealthUI` in Windows 11.
- Extend app soft-deletion to include the default Windows app folder,
this ensures that the cleanup covers any kind of Store apps (not
only system apps).

|

docs: |-
|
||||
This script uninstalls the "Windows Security app" [1], also known as `SecHealthUI` [1] [2] [3].
|
||||
This script removes the "Windows Security" app [1], known as `SecHealthUI` [2] [3].
|
||||
This app serves as the interface for Windows Security [2], helping users monitor and manage their computer's security [4].
|
||||
It provides alerts and guidance on vulnerabilities through the Action Center [4].
|
||||
|
||||
The Windows Security app is a tool that aids users in safeguarding their computer systems [4]. It monitors the computer's health
|
||||
state and provides alerts and guidance to address vulnerabilities, making these alerts visible through the Action Center [4].
|
||||
However, uninstalling the "Windows Security" app has significant implications:
|
||||
|
||||
While this enhances privacy, there's a trade-off with security. It can make the computer more vulnerable to threats, as it will no
|
||||
longer alert the user about existing vulnerabilities and will not communicate updates to Action Center, where they are displayed to
|
||||
the end user [4]. It will also break the user interface that allows you to configure other Windows security features, such as
|
||||
Tamper Protection [5].
|
||||
- It may increase vulnerability to threats by no longer alerting users about security issues or communicating updates through the Action Center [4].
|
||||
- Disabling its interface can hinder the effective management of security settings, including tamper protection [5].
|
||||
|
||||
Uninstalling the Windows Security app enhances privacy by reducing the digital footprints and amount of personal and system data collected and
|
||||
made visible:
|
||||
Despite these risks, removing the app can enhance privacy in several ways:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Reduced Digital Footprints**: Disabling the Windows Security app can minimize the amount of personal and system data that is collected, shown
|
||||
and sent to Microsoft, providing users with more control over their information. This reduces amount of data that can be used to study your
|
||||
behavior, such as by inspecting detected threats that are visibhle in your Windows Security app [6]. So the Windows Security app, the system
|
||||
leaves fewer digital traces that can be exploited to track user behavior or gather sensitive information.
|
||||
- **More control over security settings**: Removing the user interface enforces the system owner to do changes programetically, removing the
|
||||
risks for unintended misconfigurations, or restricting access to the users of the computer.
|
||||
- **Limited Notifications and Alerts:** Users gain freedom from incessant notifications and alerts, which may sometimes inadvertently share
|
||||
sensitive system or user data.
|
||||
- **User Autonomy Over System Security:**: Users have the autonomy to choose alternative security measures and software, potentially opting
|
||||
for solutions that prioritize privacy and have a more robust commitment to not sharing user data.
|
||||
- **Enhanced anonymity**: This application is under [Microsoft's privacy policy](https://web.archive.org/web/20231006114659/https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement)
|
||||
which allows Microsoft to send your data remote entities, constantly comunicate with Microsoft servers.
|
||||
- **Less personal data collection**: Reduces the collection and display of personal and system data such as threats [6], limiting information used to analyze user behavior.
|
||||
- **More control over security settings**: Encourages managing security settings programmatically, reducing accidental misconfigurations and unauthorized access.
|
||||
- **Decreased notifications and alerts**: Reduces the number of notifications that may expose sensitive information.
|
||||
- **User choice in security tools**: Offers freedom to choose alternative privacy-focused security measures.
|
||||
- **Increased anonymity**: By uninstalling the app, users reduce the amount of data shared under the terms of
|
||||
[Microsoft's privacy policy](https://web.archive.org/web/20231006114659/https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement),
|
||||
which allows Microsoft to collect and share data with external entities when the app is in use.
|
||||
|
||||
This app comes pre-installed on certain versions of Windows [7] [8].
|
||||
The package is named `Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI` on Windows 10 and `Microsoft.SecHealthUI` on Windows 11 [1] [2].
|
||||
|
||||
This is a separate app from each of the individual Defender features [9], and it is updated independently from the OS [10]. Even after
|
||||
uninstallation, Windows will continue to send security notifications unless those notifications are separately disabled [11]. In a similar manner,
|
||||
uninstalling the Windows Security app does not disable Microsoft Defender Antivirus or the Microsoft Defender Firewall [12].
|
||||
It operates independently from individual Defender features [9] and is updated separately from the operating system [10].
|
||||
Uninstalling it does not disable Microsoft Defender Antivirus or Firewall [11],
|
||||
and Windows will continue sending security notifications unless disabled separately [12].
|
||||
|
||||
> **Caution:** Uninstalling the Windows Security app is a significant action that should be undertaken with a clear understanding of the implications for
|
||||
the security and operation of your computer system.
|
||||
> **Caution**: Uninstalling "Windows Security" app can expose your system to threats and limit your ability to configure
|
||||
> security settings. It should only be done with a full understanding of the consequences.

# This function is designed for comprehensive cleanup, removing the store app along with associated data such as installation directories, user data, and metadata.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# It is maintained primarily for backward compatibility, supporting users who need to reverse changes made by earlier versions of privacy.sexy scripts that included app data removal.
|
||||
# Historically, due to limitations in uninstalling non-removable apps through Windows package management tools (like `Remove-AppxPackage`), earlier versions of privacy.sexy scripts
|
||||
# relied on a soft-deletion approach for app data. Newer scripts can now effectively use Windows package management to remove such apps.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# For general usage in new scripts, prefer `UninstallNonRemovableStoreApp`. It offers a simpler, safer, and less invasive approach. The extensive cleanup performed by
|
||||
# this function is typically unnecessary for most users.
