When that "Get Office" thing first popped-up, I was sure my PC was infected with malware and came to the brink of formatting my hard drive.
Later came the random console pop-up from the automatic WSL updates [1] and then I did panic enough to actually format all the things but that's another story.

- etatoby 9y agoThe random console popups give me the jeebies! I still don't know what causes them. Never had such things on older Windows/Lenovo machines.
