A couple days ago, I was thrown by one of my Windows devices pitching an ad for a video game to me in the notifications. I immediately disabled the related setting, which was of course enabled by default. Every device you buy is rigged by default to encourage you to buy more things.

It only takes a routine Windows Update to bring those setting back to helpful defaults.

And those updates are helpfully set to download and install by default.
