(135) Microsoft Intune - Win32 App: Removal of HP Bloatware

By default when purchasing directly from HP, you get lots of bloatware, the easiest way you could is create a Win32 app and add this to your ESP, before the user logs in it's all gone. We will need to prep the following where it will be a "Install.ps1" and a "Detect.ps1" For Install.ps1, copy and paste the following:
