Because every update there is a new setting that needs to be turned off, which is pretty obnoxious. I said similar stuff when Windows 11 RTM, but I've since been turning brand new junkware off at least twice a year, and I'm fed up. On a fresh new installation with defaults I'd likely need to spend almost an hour playing with settings and would miss some. For example almost every single subsection within "Personalization" now has ads settings turned on by default: - Background: Windows Spotlight - Lock screen: Get fun facts, tips, tricks, and more on your lock screen. Also Windows Spotlight again. - Start: Show recommendations for tips, shortcuts, new apps, and more - Taskbar: Widgets, Chat - Device usage: Every. Single. Setting.
