@flick9000 First, thank you for the great job you've done!

In the script I have added a few more removals:

Write-Host '-- Uninstalling third-party apps' -ForegroundColor Green
@("*DropboxOEM*","*BingSearch*","*RandomSaladGamesLLC*","*UserExperienceImprovementProgram*","*McAfee*",...

Then there are apps that don't get listed with an get-appxpackage - they only appear when you go to Windows Settings -> Apps -> Installed Apps, like Office 365, McAfee, Microsoft OneNote, NordVPN.

Also, there are a few shortcuts on the taskbar, like to Booking.com.

Could all this be added to the program?

Could you tell me which Windows 11 region, country, and build included taskbar shortcuts for Booking.com and pre-installed apps like NordVPN?

Oh, that's not a particular Windows version, but bloatware that came bundled with an Acer notebook - although I have seen this or similar things on Asus, HP and other PC systems. As you can't possibly "unbloat" all of this software, it would be nice if there would be a general extension for the appxpackage-removable items - I'd say a multiline-textbox would do which gets added to the script like I did it above. Same would go for the uninstallation of apps like Office 365, OneNote (both of which I see on pretty much every new/preinstalled system), NordVPN, etc. The taskbar items are just links to their related websites...

To my knowledge there is no way to specifically target those manufacturer task bar links, and didn't find any lists online, or maybe i'm missing something.
