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.

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.

It adds a dll that can’t really be uninstalled easily.
This thread has a lot of information:

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.
