Yep. An LG Ultragear monitor I’ve owned for about a year and a half just installed its crap somehow this morning on my work laptop which it’s been connected to for that long. I’m pretty sure however it’s doing it somehow bypassed the group policy and controls my company is enforcing on it. There’s no way they’ve white listed that kind of bloatware crap with how locked down they need to have these devices.
Mine from 2020 has not installed any crapware, the only windows machine its been attached to the wife’s government issued laptop which is locked down so probably not a good indication.
Probably have to look at a Chinese monitor next time around, smeznug do smeznug things and now LG. Not much else to turn to.
