    Not quite, Windows detects the monitor being attached and goes “Oh? What software goes with this?” and downloads the package provided by LG.

    The monitor doesn’t say “Hey, I want you to download this”, Windows does that on it’s own.

        Apps being bundled with drivers is not that new. I swore off Razer hardware years ago because their fucking keyboard decided to install a bloated app alongside it - during OS installation as well! A blocking installer, fucked up my unattended install.

        Pretty sure windows has supported installing drivers that include program installs since windows 7. Razor mice also do the same thing where it auto installs the control software.

      This exchange is very polite, I think the truth is closer to an encounter with the Borg.
