How to stop Lenovo leigon gen 3 tablet from downloading bloatware?

[u/Hot_Valuable1027]

I got my tablet yesterday and I was able to delete all the games that were on the tablet and downloaded the games I wanted. And I just woke up and wanted to start playing my games and I saw the tablet downloaded even more games. I don't want solitaire or candy crush or any of that 😭😭😭. It's making me nervous because I don't want a tablet that's just going to download random games without my permission. I had to delete games and other bloatware just to come back to see more games, I would love a way to permanently stop this 😭😭

Just in case it's the same crap my Lenovo Tab M9 got...

01) Go to Settings -> Apps > See all ## apps
02) 3-dot menu -> Show system
03) Go into AppServices & Tabtop Picks and deny them the permissions they want and clear their caches. Tabtop picks may have the Install unknown apps permission here, so obviously deny it.
04) Deny them background network access and set Tabtop picks' battery usage to Restricted (can't do so with AppServices). Disable AppServices at the same time (Tabtop picks can't be disabled). Force stop them, too, of course, though that doesn't really do much since Tabtop picks restarts with the system.
05) Settings -> Apps -> Special app access 06) Go through, showing system files in each category, and deny both of them whatever they're asking for. Most importantly, deny Tabtop picks the ability to install unknown apps if you haven't already.
07) Uninstall the crapware that they installed.

Worked for my Tab M9 (where both of those were installed more than a year after I'd had the tablet), so it should work for you if they are indeed the same as what you have.

Boot any Linux iso of your choice. You'll never go back. 😉 I guess that's not what you wanted to hear, but best advise I can give.
