Hardware inventory collects hardware component data through WMI and does not gather installed application registration data from Add/Remove Programs.

Enabling a default WMI class in the Hardware Inventory Classes list extends hardware data collection and is unrelated to software inventory reporting.

The 'Software registered in Add Remove Programs' report is populated by software inventory data collected by the SCCM client agent. If the 'Enable software inventory on clients' setting is disabled or misconfigured in the client settings policy, the agent will not collect installed application information from the affected computer, causing the report to return no data for that client.

Adding a file name to Hardware Inventory configuration tracks the presence of specific files on disk, not application entries from Add/Remove Programs.

Adding a WMI class to Hardware Inventory Classes extends hardware inventory scope and has no effect on software inventory data collection.

Adding a file name to Software Inventory configuration collects specific file type metadata, not Add/Remove Programs application registration records.

Software Metering tracks how frequently applications are used, not which applications are installed or registered in Add/Remove Programs.

Modifying Sms_def.mof adds custom WMI classes to hardware inventory collection and does not affect software inventory.

Collecting NOIDMIF files provides a mechanism to extend hardware inventory with custom data and is unrelated to software inventory for installed applications.
