Bloatware addition

[Habitant8381]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'd like to add some additional script to the bloatware function but when running the helperscript.ps1 it doesn't seem to play too nicely for me to make a pull request

Describe the solution you'd like Add this additional bit of code

Write-Host 'Finished Removing Bloatware Apps'

Describe alternatives you've considered If I add this code in manually into the main winutil.ps1 its removed when the start.ps1 is ran

Interesting...I have none of those on 10 or 11 and they are week old installs. I have worse ones that I'd never think of using lol and they came on 11 Pro! I just deleted them like usual and they have never come back on any system I have unless I upgrade from 10 to 11, then they come back until I remove them.

Tldr I've never needed a reg setting to keep them from coming back but understand why you might want one if they do... I wonder why I'm not getting them...

I agree with @Habitant8381 as "world" selection is not always available for all languages. pl_PL is an example
