I wouldn't recommend trying to modify/tweak Windows 10, at least not beyond a very limited manner. You can do some simple things and there are good tools like O&O ShutUp10 to help with minor tweaking, but if you're wanting to force remove apps via PowerShell and/or tweak services and stuff that that, you're just asking for a broken OS.
Windows 10 is so easy to mess up trying to tweak things that aren't designed to be turned off in the OS, and because Microsoft doesn't have a dedicated testing team anymore, it's much more easier to break the OS. And there's countless posts out there (e.g. Microsoft Answers) where people were trying to tweak the OS, only to break things and cause all kinds of weird issues. And from all the times I've read those posts, their only solution was to reinstall the OS.
So, I wouldn't recommend doing any sort of tweaking or trying to "remove parts" of the Windows 10 OS, because you will break it doing it. Using O&O ShutUp10 for minor tweaking is as far as I'd recommend going.
As for the audio issue, you might try MC26 and see if it works there. If so, it's probably something in the newer Windows 10 version that possibly breaks something in older MC.
