Dell Absollute Persistence - raspito - Aug 14, 2024
I've got a Dell Latitude 3190 with Absollute Persistence technology installed how can I remove it? I can't click permanently disable or disable at all it's greyed out. If impossible without soldering or something like that how can I remove all these group policies and stuff on Windows and not have them come back? They come back every reboot with my experience.

There is an interesting thread here : https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/53698/detecting-and-removing-absolute-persistence-technology
It seems that it's not like uninstalling a program through appwiz.cpl
They're speaking of :
- changing your BIOS
- contacting Absolute Software

Do you own this laptop or was it acquired through some illegitimate means?

A quick once over of their product makes it seem like it would be a better option to throw away or sell the device and get a new one
Best of luck with that

Then ask the school to remove the tracking as they should have done before they sold it to you. I noticed that you dodged the question. If it's still school property, forget it. Absolute Persistence has probably been reporting your tampering.
