Why the LG Monitor App installed without my notice?
This app was installed on my computer without any notice. I plugged the new LG monitor and saw this app from my Settings dashboard. This is not good!
This is the app from LG and safe to use.
Certain drivers come with separate applications for managing device settings. If the application is a Win32 version, it is typically installed alongside the driver. However, if it is a packaged app, such as those for LG monitors, Intel Graphics, or some HP printers, it is more likely to be downloaded from the App Store.

Though it is a safe app, better to let the user know when the app is going to be installed. Do it silently is not the best way IMOP.

When a new hardware is connected, Windows 11 will search and install the device driver automatically. This is why the LG monitor app being installed. Don't worry!
