Chinese manufacturers should advertise malware as a feature !
"Forgot your passwords ? no problem ! " and charge extra (automatically -> they all ready have your bank credentials ) for the service !

Maybe AceMagic should just be banned from selling

If anyone searching about this issue while he is waiting disappointed for the computer to arrive do not panic ! Just use an older PC or a friend's PC get Rufus and make a windows 10 or 11 USB disk install windows on the first boot no need to let it boot it's own image even once!
You are welcome random google searcher :P

Maybe Amazon should care about the garbage they sell and ban that company and all its brands. It wouldn't surprise me if the data is sent to chinese intelligence agencies.

Or send it back and get something else.

The first thing I do with any laptop i buy is wipe the drive and fresh instal the OS. Pretty much every pre-installed OS comes with a ton of bloatware and as mentioned even malicious software.
The second thing I do is removed the HSF and replace the TIM with some decent.

Those things reside in the OS.
What about the UEFI firmware?

Well there's levels and anybody that concerned should look at exactly what they are buying and from whom.
I mean what if the CIA have remote access to my bathroom mirrors and are watching me bleach my bum hole.

We're long past that moment.
Amazon stopped caring about what is sold through their platform many years ago. Today it's 95% garbage... takes quite a lot of effort to find the other 5% things which are decent/usable/worth buying.

Ive just had a delivery of £1000 worth of stuff from Amazon, 100% of that delivery is decent/usable/worth buying. Ive never had an issue with Amazon UK, replaced anything faulty ive ever had and without question, ive been buying stuff from there since 2008.
My first purchase was a Panasonic TH-50PZ80B - 50" Widescreen Viera 1080P Full HD Plasma TV for £1100.

They put chemicals in the plane trails too ...they are so wasteful though , it will be much more effective using the water supply as a delivery method . Classic government spending recklessly their taxpayers money to mindwash em ...!
Also you what????? :O
