We could add two additional steps after applying OS settings like "remove mail icon from task bar" and "disable sleep mode" and then deploy this task sequence to our required client.

1. For remove mail step, we may use this script to remove the icon.Here is the script below(We must use the admin permission account):
   if(Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online | Where-Object {$.DisplayName -match "Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps"}){Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online | Where-Object {$.DisplayName -match "Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps"} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -AllUsers -Verbose -ErrorAction Continue}
   else { Write-Output "Mail app is not installed for the system"}
2. For disable sleep mode step, we could use powercfg command line to reach our goal.
   we could run like this "c:\windows\system32\powercfg.exe -change -standby-timeout-ac 0"
   The step image as shown below:
