    hello everyone...
    I looked into the bloatware guide , there is a few programs not listed, that are on the SR1.

    Is express gate cloud , the same as express gate?
    If I want to uninstall, do i need to go in bios first?

    What is ASUS power4Gear hybrid ?

    ATK package ?

    Does anyone with the SR1 has already tweaked it , and can post a list of installed programs ?

    I will do a fresh install later ,but want to back up files first , if anything goes wrong.

    This is my first notebook - Thanks for helping

    Cheers

    You can just uninstall express gate cloud.

    Power4Gear Hybrid is the power management interface. Makes it easier to change settings for power modes, and to switch between them.

    ATK package supplies the special keys functions

    You can go through the Programs Installed list in Control Panel and just uninstall what you don't want. For example, I remove Splendid, and then run the Windows' Color Calibration Wizard to do color management.

    Express gate morphed into Cloud so they are similar.
    Power 4 gear are power plans which can be selected from control panel - power... Not needed IMO windows power plans have plenty of flexibility
    ATK - a keeper - controls KB lights and dedicated buttons

    There may be more info here:

    I find the Windows interface a hassle. I prefer the P4GH interface. One page, all the selections, done.
