Furthermore, Windows has the annoying habit of changing settings after updates,
I had Windows 10 since day 1 (actually, since day -90, was test-driving it for three months before it went public release) and used Windows 11 since day 1.

Good software needs to have sensible default settings
“Sensible defaults” depend on the target audience. Techy people can turn all of this off, non-techy people won’t think to turn it on. That’s why, by default, it’s on.
Search -> Settings -> “Disable web search” + “Disable suggested apps”.
