LG Monitors Silently Install Adware-Like App On Windows PCs

Connecting specific LG monitors to Windows PCs can trigger Windows Update to automatically install the LG Monitor App Installer without user consent. This software runs at startup and repeatedly displays McAfee trial promotions, behaving like adware. Gamers Nexus reproduced this issue using an LG UltraGear 34GX900A-B, noting that Windows Update installs extension and software component packages first. A free application is available to block this silent installation process on Windows 11 systems.
