Microsoft automatically installed Lenovo's bloatware in Windows 11

If you run Windows 11, then you better be careful about blindly accepting updates, because unwanted Malware might be installed through the official Windows update feature..

Microsoft automatically installed Lenovo's Bloatware via Windows update, and yes, it comes with a horrendous custom designed UI that looks like a zombie monster from the Windows 9x days. It's semi-transparent abhorrence even comes with the top left corner rounded. What dumb idiot came up with this?? If only it was the design that annoyed me, but it's not — it infects your computer with Lenovo's malware that molests your PC.

Malware that I specifically do not want on any of my systems.

I am amazed that Microsoft allow this to happen on their watch; PC manufactures such as Lenovo are notorious for installing all sorts of junk that people do not really need, and Lenovo PC's in particular has a tendency to down right get infected by Lenovo branded Malware; take the gigantic caps lock notification that pops up in the middle of the screen on Lenovo computers for example.

This is not just Malware — it is a kind of abuse that Lenovo is subjecting their users to, and they are conspiring with Microsoft to distribute it! What a complete outrage.

Oh well, I guess I will just be forced to block Windows Update in my firewall again.

The installed software appears to be Lenovo's own update manager, and no idea if this is the actual name of the software, but the Window title just says "System Update", which I find rather misleading. The actual software only allows you to search for updates, and will not allow you to uninstall other Lenovo malware. E.g. Their useless Caps Lock user-molesting notification.
