Hello,
I just had my computer repaired, and it has been rebooted as if I had just bought it, and there are lots of applications pre-installed. I don't know if they are useful or not and what they do; could you help me?
Last time, my older brother did some things on my computer, and the "ASUS ROG Gaming Center" application stopped working; I don’t know why, and I would like to avoid that happening again if possible.
For your information, I have an Asus Strix ROG 64-bit running Windows 10.
Here are all the applications, even those I think I know the purpose of, to be sure:
-Alarms & Clock

Hello,
you can uninstall:
-ASUS GIFTBOX
-ASUS GiftBox Service
-ASUS Hello
-ASUS Live Update
-ASUS Product Registration
-ASUS PTP Driver
-ASUS Splendid Video Enhancement Technology
-McAfee
-My ASUS Center
-ROG Gaming Center if not used
-Skype if not used
-LinkedIn if not used
-OneDrive if not used
in your list there are plenty of Windows stuff so avoid uninstalling those
then there are things like Netflix, WPS Office that you installed yourself, right?

The only software I've installed is Chrome; the others were there by default...
But in the software you mentioned, I checked on other sites and they say not to uninstall things like ASUS Live Update, but I don't know much about it, so if you could enlighten me on its usefulness...
I would even advise disabling driver updates via Windows > https://lecrabeinfo.net/desactiver-installation-automatique-pilotes-drivers-composants-peripheriques-windows-update-windows-10.html
