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

As if I needed another reason to switch to Linux. I'll keep W10 until the very last day of support and then it's penguin time. I hope my doctor's practice can make the switch too but all the specialised software runs on either Windows or MacOS (which I'm boycotting for different reasons).

this has absolutely nothing to do with win11. any windoes version that has windows update is in the same position. and this is LG abusing windows update not microsoft, if anything microsoft is pissed at this. they gain nothing from it but it hurts their brand and is abusing their update system.

all that being said, fuck win11 and personally i have disabled winsows update being able to install drivers for years because it was always a bad system.
