Last night I got a notification that advertised Game Pass to me. I angrily clicked on manage notifications and there’s a notification source called “Suggested” that somehow was turned on. That was the last straw for me. I go through so much diligence setting up my browser’s ad block, only for the OS to bypass all that.

For now “Suggested” is turned off and I disabled all notifications for good measure, but I don’t know how much longer Windows will allow that. I don’t intend to find out.
