So they have to be aggressive by automatically adding garbage nobody wants because otherwise people won’t bother activating said garbage they don’t want?

Look at the amount of screenshots even in advanced PC communities with ugly useless search bar enabled, which is taking 1/3 of the taskbar. I’m not even speaking about casual users who have no idea this can be disabled.

No, because most people stick with the default option regardless.

I’m just trying to understand my our point… You argue they have to do this because people won’t bother on their own… Then proceed to back your statement with an example where MS added garbage and people don’t bother or can’t figure to remove it…
I mean, you and I known MS could simply ask… They don’t because they want that slide that says x many million users of Copilot…

That’s the best known case, but it’s not limited to organ donation of course.

I didn’t argue with that.

yeah, it’s fucking exhausting to go through and disable the 10’s or 100’s of options they set by default that you don’t want. I have a computer that I have disabled updates on because they kept resetting my deeper configs with updates. I’m not getting another windows computer unless I have to because god that shit took so long to set up.

Why not leave the defaults as-is? They’re probably set like that for a reason.
