Tried the "Ability to scan and manage preinstalled software" on my Acer laptop.
It found:

***** [ Preinstalled Software ] *****

Preinstalled.AcerPowerManagement
Preinstalled.AcerQuickAccess
Preinstalled.AcerUpdater
Preinstalled.GatewayPowerManagement
Preinstalled.PackardBellPowerManagement

I have installed myself Acer Power Management and Acer Quick Access and I'm keeping them.
But is great to see that preinstalled software is detected.
