@Leonarduk00, did you run this with user permissions or admin permissions? I deployed this script always with SYSTEM permissions by Intune. Need to admit that I never tested or used it with user permissions. If is ran as a user I think that this could(must) be blocked in the script.

Yet another "i'm here as a regular user, i tried the one from the original git and my PC's still freezing regularly, is there a latest script that I won't be running with Intune" post. I really want everything HP stripped away from my Z2's and I'm wondering what is the best version of the script to run.

Also along with all this BS, did you guys notice that out of the box, there's a Defender blanket exclusion for the entire HP folder that's not user-deleteable? Absolute fricken madness. I'm definitely returning to Lenovo for my next workstations - I wanted off a Chinese based company, and this is how a US based one treats me. Insane.
