As far as the monitors go this has to have been an agreement between Microsoft and LG. The spyware is installed via a Microsoft update and it seems this could affect monitors that were purchased unto 3 years ago.

Anyone still using Windows 11 and have a LG monitor check your driver updates

The thing to do if you have Pro or enterprise Turn off the trigger install by meta data function in group policy then nothing can do this again . This is what I did then uninstalled the LG program

That is ok for you who is tech savvy but think of the thousands of users who dont have a clue about the software never mind how to stop it.

Windows 10 and Firefox problems?
Fired up my old widows laptop after a couple of days rest, immediately Firefox started to do an update then nothing!
Home screen went blank then a message popped up.
[Unable to continue, refresh required]
This has shown above message for the last hr, still no further forwards?

The screen shows refreshing with a bar moving left/right.
So something is happening but not completing a refresh.

You did not get grief and you still have not understood the answer

The LG Screen that installed this software on my computer is a TV not a Monitor so Sirus did not tell you that. And TVs spy on you by using the microphone and analysing the image on the screen as well . I did explain this to you in the other thread it is not my fault you refused to take notice of me and I really do know what I am on about when I post anything about tech

I think the simplest way to explain it is a TV is a monitor with smart features and a tuner or 2 so there is no difference between them they are both doing it like I said in the other thread

If you connect a Newer LG TV or Monitor it silently without asking pulls the LG Monitor controller and installs this on your computer . This software has system wide permissions and has access to the internet. Remember this asks no permission yet gets global permissions
This was from my very first post on the subject thread I posted . Tell me how you missed that

Following on from m
y earlier post regarding Windows 10 and Firefox!
So no further problems after I used for a couple of days, yesterday I switched on [nbg]!
Repeat of earlier problem, Firefox update then Windows failed to open on my home page.
Message saying unable to start, refresh last session/start new session?
Then screen froze, clicked on exit just reulted in reported error to Microsoft.
Possible end of Windows 10 RIP?

Old lappy - install Linux, personally I like a KDE desktop but it is resource heavy. I haven't used Win10 for ages now that Linux can run my Steam games. There are occasions it would be helpful but I haven't really found anything that doesn't have some form of workaround.
