    What i managed to identify and remove is :

    Windows error reporting (i believe its also "customer experience improvement program") :
    WinEmb-ErrorReporting~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~en-US~6.1.7601.17514
    WinEmb-ErrorReporting~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7601.17514

    Internet explorer :
    WinEmb-IE-Explorer~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~en-US~6.1.7601.17514
    WinEmb-IE-Explorer~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7601.17514

    Windows media player :
    WinEmb-MediaPlayer~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~en-US~6.1.7601.17514
    WinEmb-MediaPlayer~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7601.17514

    so far it.
    also i want to remove apps and features like this :
    calculator
    paint
    xps viewer
    remote desktop connection
    sound recorder
    wordpad
    ease of access
    system restore
    character map
    private character editor
    maintenance help and support with remote assistant
    powershell
    desktop gadgets
    application experience
    customer experience improvement program
    homegroup

    i know some of them comes in bundles but i have no idea what packages are for those apps, any help ?

    Can you please explain what those packages dose ?

    WinEmb-Enhanced-Write-Filter~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7601.17514
    WinEmb-EWFProvider-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7601.17514
    WinEmb-FBWFProvider-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7601.17514
    WinEmb-File-Based-Write-Filter~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7601.17514

    because after removing them i don't see any changes what so ever.

    WinEmb-Media-Support~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7601.17514
    WinEmb-MediaPlayer~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7601.17514

    those two are for media player yeah it's obvious for me but not the other ones.

    Anyways is there any list for what each package means ?
