Actually this is known having helped with many Toshiba Clean Reinstalls over the years here.
You do not need any of the bloatware starting up. If your battery tender bloatware gives you longer battery life that might be an exception, but I haven't found one that actually does. As with all other WIn7 installs you only need the AV starting with Windows. The others are freeloaders and can spy on you.
The OD likely has bloatware causing it to also start up in the SysTray, or it is an anomaly having to do with an AHCI install which enables hotplugging and puts all or most SATA devices into Safely Remove Hardware.
