We recently onboarded a new client who have some windows 8 era HP AIOs and found a few more applications and packages that weren't accounted for in the current iteration. This script seems more targeted to new HP deployments, but is equally useful for old deployments that still have the bloat present.
I have not run the script yet with the modifications, but here's our current list. I realize this is for HP bloatware, but I've included Mcafee, wildtangent, and candy crush as well.
