Effect of deleting Toshiba bundle apps that came with the computer
We restored our Toshiba to it's factory default and wanted to know if we can uninstall the apps that came with the notebook, without causing problem to the computer. The files we have identified as installed and running are:
Some of them seem to work with the power consumption etc., but isn't Windows 10 Pro already prepare to work with what these utilities are meant to work with?

... if there's anything else (besides the hotkey module) that you want to check before deleting it, you can do the same thing I just noted -- disable it via AutoRuns; and see if there's anything "missing" that you wanted to have. I suspect the answer will be that you end up deleting ALL of the Toshiba "stuff".
it can be wise to have an image of the disk, before deleting these softwares
sometimes, by deleting them - it deletes too much, and you get error popups later
but i'm inclined to remove most of them also

One other thought -- since you've restored it to a factory image, I presume that means you did that from a recovery partition.
So ... you could simply remove ALL of the Toshiba apps and confirm that everything's okay (it almost certainly will be). If not, just redo the restore :-)
