    They literally have control of and log every app that’s installed and will bug you until you uninstall it.

      Unless they’re doing app signing or binary examination, some of the methods to “log every app” literally look for an executable name. Renaming “firefox.exe” to “explorer.exe” (an obviously allowed executable name) and then executing it will still run Firefox.

        Yeah, I don’t know how they’re doing it. They’re using some “zero trust” system. It’s beyond me.
