I have a laptop and a desktop running Windows 10 on my account. I use them both daily, one for entertainment, one for work. Both running on Pro and constantly up-to-date. I have been using one for exactly 2 years, and the other one for like 9-10 months. I am completely unfamiliar with the experience you had, with no apps having been installed on my behalf without me explicitly installing it through the Microsoft Store, except for the ones I get after I reinstall the OS. I also have a Windows Phone that I have been using for the past 2 years. Again, it gets some apps pre-installed whenever I reinstall the OS, but never otherwise. Admittedly, PCs I think did once get some of them after one major update. I suppose it was one of the Creators Updates.
