The most straight forward method I've found is to simply install the quite popular Ccleaner and uninstall the built in apps that way -

I'm more concerned with getting the windows store back, still, after having removed all the apps...

got you covered

With the release of Microsoft Play anywhere games and them needing windows 10 anniversary edition I've seen a resurgence of people complaining about windows 10 spying on you all across the web. Normally when people complain about microsoft spying and collecting ad data (and yes there are a handful of app packages that are titled Advertising) I show them this video

and move on but with the new play anywhere there's some extra stuff I should add...
When following the "Remove windows apps: Get-AppxPackage -allusers | Remove-AppxPackage" step don't stop there you then need to turn back and type in "Get-Appxpackage -Allusers", copy/paste the entire list to a notepad doc and use the find key to locate every app that says store or xbox and reinstall them. Especially "Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider" like this:
Add-AppxPackage -register “C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider_11.18.16009.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe/AppxManifest.xml” –DisableDevelopmentMode
(this is the item the anniversary edition has different than windows 10 home which I believe is the reason you need anniversary edition for play anywhere titles)
the location inside the quotations being the "InstallLocation" but don't remove the "/AppxManifest.xml" you need that...
Hope this helps.

P.S. I'm no super techy programmer or anything this took me some time on my own to figure out lol
