Player Location Check

My Oculus app on my Windows 11 machine informed me that I needed a "driver update". Screenshot (94).pngI agreed to it. But now I see that I have an unwanted app running at start up, Player Location Check. I do everything to keep my system free of garbage running in the background. 

Anybody else run into this? The only place I can think of that this came from the "driver update". Yeah this made my blood boil. This is not a "driver". It's a program that spies on my location. If it's needed somehow all of a sudden they should say why and not just add this to your computer and give an option to run it ONLY when such information is approved by myself. I DO NOT CONSENT to sneaking this crap onto my computer.

Are you certain it came with a Meta update? It's a third party system related to online gambling so I can't see why it would be pushed by them.

@CrazyGuy247 Just like @user_901925786032222  mentioned this can't be inserted on your PC by Meta. Exactly what they mentioned a Player Location Check is for that. However, if you happen to have Windows and Macs this will be there already that I know off. 

We are all mad here.
