  I wonder if the person writing the article is using the Fast Insider Build of 10. I've have cases where due to a bug a setting that showed "tips" I disabled was accidentally ignored (it was fixed in the next build) and had the tooltip "why not try Edge?" pop after a year or so of using 10. I first I was raging with people in discord about Microsoft and Ads. But after a coffee I clamed down and I checked on line to see which option might of got flipped, found the flag and remembered I had set it long ago (and that's why I had never seen that tooltip before), checked the feedback tool and saw reports from others that the flag was being ignored for some reason and MS promptly fixed it. Personally I enabled Fast Builds when Bash/WSL went live but I disabled them when an update conflicted with Overwatch so I'm no longer getting the Fast build. Just wondering if this person is having something similar where they disabled all the "suggestions" only to have one creep back in due to a bug? Edit: Reading the comments seems like the person writing the article was the person who got the notice. It's not a get out for MS. All these suggestions make it hard to suggest W10 to people as I have to give it with the caveat "as along as you turn off all the bullshit". It's a shame because with a little fine tuning W10 is a decent OS.
