Personally I hate how they install shit on your computer just by virtue of plugging something in. No I do not want Razer's RGB Wizard Controller UI to perform a Windows Update. Fuck off with that. If you uninstall it, it reinstalls when you plug the mouse back in. That's the last Razer peripheral I will ever purchase.

    You'd be shocked how many things do that. Its a genuine problem in a workplace as far as cybersecurity goes; people will plug their crap into their work laptop and suddenly you're getting alerts about Alienware or Razer software detections.

    There's also the windows loophole to allow system manufacturers to automatically install their bloatware from BIOS (Windows Platform Binary Table - WPBT), even if you do a clean OS install.
