lghub is not necessary once the program loads and sets the desired configuration for the various LG Devices this program supports. I noticed that there were 5 copies of this process running. Upon investigation, it was discovered that I was being hacked. The culprit used LG hub in order to gain access to the router then used the router to gain access via svchost .I am not sure of the specifics as far as exactly the hack was preformed. The program constantly waits for an internet connection to the various games that the legitimate device owner has preprogrammed (such as mouse buttons, etc) for that game. Antivirus and malware did not detect the intrusion as they "rode" LGHub. I would classify this as 95% dangerous if you have any other individuals on your network. Mike G

Best practices for resolving lghub issues
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with lghub. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To get your computer running as fast as it did on day one, you can 8reset your PC. Your personal files will remain intact, but any programs you installed will need to be reinstalled.
