IMO "you can turn that off" is absolutely not an acceptable answer to this stuff. It's my computer and it shouldn't be doing anything that I didn't specifically tell it to do. And that's not even to mention how often these setting are reset, or new "settings" added

It’s not an answer, I was just letting them know it exists.

How often this setting is reset by Windows to default value?

It’s not a windows setting.

> No, it was a Microsoft Rewards promotion. Something I don’t recall opting into.

Cool. I appreciate you solving the mystery.
