They silently install Logitech Download Assistant through Windows Update as soon as you plug a logitech device in.

Then you get a an ad to download their software as a popup message by the clock.

Since I saw it on a work machine pre pandemic, I have boycotted Logitech, I now mainly use Pulsar mice and Ducky Keyboards.

I’ve been wondering what they heck this was. I use a Logitech mouse at work and this popup is the bane of my existence. Our workstations are locked out for software downloads but I also can’t get rid of the damn popup.

  It adds a dll that can’t really be uninstalled easily.

I think that’s only if you’re using their unifying dongle. They dropped that tech I think, not sure they replaced it.

  Eh, it only showed up when I plugged it in the first time, but you can find the dll loaded even after.
  
  It doesn’t use a lot of RAM or CPU, but for me it is the principle, don’t install software without asking me.
  
  Drivers are another matter.

    Makes sense. Hateful, but I get it now. Thanks.
