This means I have to remember to manually remove them from each and every user profile I create.

And that's where we come back to "they're provisioned". Indeed I can verify if they're not present when setting up a user, you have no issues. So the only ideal solution seems to be to not have those installs present when setting up a user in the first place. You basically have to recreate the user's profile from scratch. You can't set a signature- and no targeted solution I've tried will work. In two separate cases I've had users lose the ability to do specific things in Outlook- most notably, calling the signatures pane to define a signature for email. The real problem for me is that these shovelware installs are like a damn landmine, waiting to be stepped on. Installing my company's sanctioned version of Office 365 adds yet a third office "app", and if you're a perfectionist that would be enough to drive one batty all on its own. These seem to re-insert themselves for every new user account- which my reading tells me that makes them "provisioned".

The problem I am trying to actually address here is that Microsoft has decided to insert a "default" install of Office in new installations of Windows- two, actually. Or they've proposed a solution that does not work.

So, sorry if this is a duplicate topic, but quite frankly I've been crawling over numerous posts in this and other technical forums that take a stab at answering this question, but none of them actually have.
