A new, thinner XPS 13 is also coming later this year.

    Really? Where you read that?

    What I remember it was an app you could uninstall and then you had to clean up the certificate install. It was part of the factory image and would get installed as part of that. Lenovo provided instructions to remove it.

    But again, I don’t use factory images or windows.

      Looking it up I cant seem to find it, so I might be wrong. It may not have been lenovo but I remember news years ago about some OEM getting caught doing that.

        Yeah I am pretty certain you are tbh, I think you mixing up uefi certificate updates with root kits that are part of the factory image or other installed bloatware from the manufacturer.

        Now if you were talking about vpro or other low level management I could believe it, but thats intel and avoidable…
