Microsoft's silent app-install framework spans multiple OEMs and remains unchanged despite documented user complaints

Microsoft's Hardware Support App framework auto-installs OEM software when peripherals connect — with no user notification. Dell's Alienware Command Center triggers the same way as LG's Monitor App Installer. Microsoft's own documentation states the installation "does not provide a notification to the user" and acknowledges users find it "confusing and frustrating." Reports date to 2024; the framework persists unchanged.
