Microsoft responds to LG monitors installing McAfee ads on Windows

From the comments on the article:

• Open Settings → System → About → Advanced system settings → Hardware tab → Device Installation Settings.
• Select No to Automatically download manufacturer apps and icons.

How reliable is this?

Call me cynical or whatever you like, I don’t trust anything that isn’t a physical switch.

I already had it set, and so far my LG monitor hasn’t caused an LG software to be installed. But I’m on Windows 10 and I guess there’s a chance this software is only for 11.

Microsoft tends to undo settings they don’t like during updates.
