I'm not sure if this is available natively over GPO but you are able to use PowerShell cmd-let for that (<b>Remove-Appx-Package</b>). So, you are able to create a logon script and use it with GPO to uninstall required modern UI apps from those Windows 8 machines.<br />
<br />
Just atke a look at this page where you can find an example<br />
