That’s my experience too. I run all Windows here and I stay on the happy path. I did turn off a few options in control panel to reduce some UI clutter, but nothing has been hacked away. I run Pro and use an outlook.com login to sync settings. I don’t see any of these ads or pop ups.
This is mostly fud here.
- inkcapmushroom 3y agoMy work laptop with Windows just got a notification yesterday requesting me to install some game from the XBox Live store which certainly seemed like a bad use of system notifications. Haven't got any popups though.

- inkcapmushroom 3y agoI think they're just trying to push their game store as a Steam alternative.
- elesiuta 3y agoI have the same setup and experience, but there's still two things that annoy me. The setting up your device prompts where you have to skip their attempts to upsell an office 365 subscription, change the default browser, link your phone, etc, which run before you can login after every biannual feature update. That bing/store search results appear before more relevant installed programs or files when searching the start menu. I like having them sometimes, just not the way they're ranked, and the lag which causes me to select them when it gets inserted before what I was just about to click.
