I tried to deactivate several apps which I did not use on my Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab. Unfortunately the Play Store displayed updates for them soon after and they were activated again by some kind of magic.
To remove the apps I do not want on my device I connected via
adb shell
and uninstalled them by running the following commands:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.calendar
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.office.outlook
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube
