Hi everyone,
I’m trying to disable Absolute Persistent Module Lojack (also known as Computrace) on my HP Notebook, but I’ve run into a few issues and could use some guidance...
I followed the recommended steps to get started:
- Installed the HP Client Management Script Library to add HP commands in PowerShell
- Ran PowerShell in admin mode and set the execution policy to allow the script to run.
- Used `Get-HPBIOSSetting` and `Set-HPBIOSSettingValue` to try and manage the Absolute Persistence Module.
Here’s the problem: when I run `Get-HPBIOSSettingsList` to enumerate BIOS settings, I don’t see the “Absolute Persistence Module” option anywhere. Instead, I’m getting a long list of blank or unavailable settings:
```
DisplayInUI : 0
IsReadOnly : 0
Name :
Path :
Prerequisites : { }
PrerequisiteSize : 1
RequiresPhysicalPresence : 0
SecurityLevel : 0
Sequence : 0
Value :
CurrentValue :
PossibleValues : { , , , …}
Size : 12
Active : True
InstanceName : ACPI\PNP0C14\0_71
PSComputerName :
```
I’ve also tried using the `BiosConfigUtility` but ran into the same issue - almost nothing is available to configure in the BIOS (except the settings I have in the UEFI UI and there's even lack of some of them..
.
Has anyone else encountered this or found a solution?
For reference, another user @MinimusNL, successfully disabled it with PowerShell. You can check out their post for more details here: [Disabling Absolute Software's Lojack or Computrace software - https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Software-and-How-To-Questions/Disabling-Absolute-Software-s-Lo...
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
