flashbacks from a time when I alone was essentially the entire IT at work (small company, yay). Had to uninstall HP apps from a laptop, there were like ~50 of them and each of questionable purpose. Most of the uninstall attempts said “Error! Can’t, because HP [other app] requires this”… Eventually, through trial and error, I managed to find the proper order to uninstall them all, and it took hours.

It would have been faster to just wipe & clean install windows, but user didn’t want to setup all his stuff again so… :|

Anyway, the laptop was WAY more usable after uninstalling all that crap.
