It’s best practice to disable as many update agents and services as possible. I always disable or uninstall the following components:

– Windows Update Services
– Antivirus and any security Agent/Services (if installed)
– Horizon Agent (if installed)
– SCCM Client / Services (if installed)
– Microsoft App-V Client (if installed)

- remove Any other filter driver applications

for Java and .Net , its recommended to removed it so the application which you install com e with its library and requirements as java

i prefer also to to uninstall appellations too as MS office
