@arstechnica this is why I don't trust Windows for anything. Not even a living room PC.
Why on earth connecting a peripheral trigger windows to install an app? 😮
Can you imagine you connecting a mouse and suddenly Gnome Software starts installing an application without consent?
Nobody in their right mind should use windows. Ever.
