Wow. Could you point us to more technical information about this "feature" of Windows? I'm hoping someone has reverse-engineered it somewhere, but I'm not finding anything with some brief Googling.

No need to reverse engineer it when it's fully documented: https://download.microsoft.com/download/8/a/2/8a2fb72d-9b96-4e2d-a559-4a27cf905a80/windows-platform-binary-table.docx https://download.microsoft.com/download/8/a/2/8a2fb72d-9b96-...

I have a motherboard from Gigabyte that will prompt after the first boot in Windows to install some of their software. https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/06/millions-of-pc-motherboards-were-sold-with-a-firmware-backdoor/ https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/06/millions-of-pc-moth... With my motherboard you can deny the install at least.
