And yet it did. Looking into it, MS is playing the "bug" card and has said it won't happen next time. I'm not sure whether to believe them, or if it was a "we wanted to see if we could get away with it" approach to getting more ad installs.

While it shouldn't be reinstalling apps you've removed, they still intend to automatically add new "promoted apps" to your start menu. But each time they sell a slot, you should only need to remove it the one time and it won't come back.
- BrandonLive 10y agoThis is incorrect. The programmed pinned apps in the current releases of Win10 are only applied to new installs or when upgrading from Win7 or 8.x. They are never applied during Win10 updates (unless there's a bug of course). The entire pinned space is customizable by the user and user customizations are always maintained.
