Windows does that automatically. The software is part of the LG monitor driver and is distributed through Microsoft's automatic driver setup infrastructure.

There's an obscure GPO that can prevent Windows from auto-installing "related files" but of course most people don't know it exists or that it's yet another core OS feature you have to turn off to use Windows in peace.

    It means 'Hey Jude". You have to take a sad song and make it better.

    That’s the part I’m confused by. Why does a non touchscreen monitor even need a driver? It should work fine before windows is even in the picture?

    Might be glorified ICC profiles. Normally EDID should cover most bases already but I can see how config files might improve matters.

    Of course there is no justification for adding a dropper for unwanted programs.
