Can you add Tobii has bloatware too?

Can you add Tobii and all of the other tobii bloatware apps and things has bloatware in your script?

I have a lenovo laptop and basically i have this app called "Tobii eye tracker" pre installed from tobii. i tried deleting it several times and it always installs by itself or either get a pop up saying to redownload it from the microsoft store

Is this the app in question? https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NK75KF67S2N

The pop-up may be related to a driver package that may automatically be installed through Windows Update.

yeah this is the app, i tried basically everything to remove it, but its just one with my laptop now,
is there a way to stop it from being installed or is it just gonna be like that forever?

There's an ongoing effort here to find a way to cripple / remove it: https://gist.github.com/jcary741/19cc74c93a499f8c23ad7dd5a04faf86

But yes, it is spyware and apparently uploads face ID and eye tracking data to their servers without user consent. Lenovo choosing to provide what is essentially a firmware rootkit for this is wild.

woah that is crazy, didnt realise it was that big of an issue.
