Exactly what I want to avoid. I see updates roll in and then suddenly there is "News and Info" app on the tool bar that pops up randomly to make sure you stay connected to the the borg. I don't need nor want this. Also, as I mentioned, I don't want to be on Windows as they turn the screws to lock it down and farm/spy on me. The precursor to this is MS had an S-Mode version of Win10 when it first came out which blocked you from installing anything not from the MS store but you could disable it. How long will that be an option, Win12? In any case, I am out and probably going to move to Linux before the end of the year. My primary PC is Win8.1, a Win7 bench PC for cloning and a Win10 laptop for service work. I did some research already and Dymo kinda-sorta has support for Linux drivers and others got it working so I am hopeful.
