About this tag
The full trust apps tag covers Windows 11 discussions about desktop software that can be installed through device-related mechanisms and the consent issues those installations raise. Its current coverage focuses on LG UltraGear monitors, whose connection may trigger installation of an LG Monitor App Installer through the Microsoft Store. The related concern is not simply automatic delivery of companion software, but whether users receive a clear prompt, understand permissions, and have an obvious way to decline optional installations.

This tag is useful for tracking app installation behavior, user control, and bundled promotions.
