Removing components that are no longer needed

To reduce the size of the attack surface, unneeded programs and operating system components should be removed.

The removal of system components should only be done by well-versed persons. Negative side effects may occur and programs can no longer be run correctly.

In the Control Panel under Programs and Features you can uninstall programs and Windows components that are not needed.

Run "control appwiz.cpl" to access this feature directly.
