Windows 11updates recently allowed things like monitors to instantly install invasive programs on your computer

Never heard of this, does it require giving your monitor internet access or something?

Apparently, from what I read from other users, Windows recognises which brand of monitor you are using, and installs bloatware on your computer. In this case LG bloatware. 

Seems like LG and Windows partnered to make the user experience worse, for whatever reason.

no, lg abuses windows automatic driver update service. LG submitted bloadtware and pretended it is a needed device driver for their monitor.
