Hello @mrrrr
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
None of the software is mandatory to keep, you computer will still function if they are removed.
Personally, from ones you show in the picture , I'd remove the following:
- HP Create Control Panel
- HP Documentation
- HP ePrint SW
- HP JumpStart (all of them)
- HP Notifications
- HP Performance Advisor
- HP Sure Connect
- HP Work WIse
HP Client Security Manager is the management console for a variety of security apps. Device Access Manager is also a security app. HP Support Assistant is the program to update drivers, BIOS and to provide updates from HP. All of them you can search for in Google to find information. The ones I listed above are least important in my personal opinion and you may remove them if they cause you some sort of issues or slowness.
Let me know how it goes
