One of the first things I do on Windows 10 is turn off all notifications because there is literally nothing I ever want Windows to notify me about, they are basically just spam. Microsoft is now ignoring that and spamming me with notifications to "Join Microsoft Rewards!" every goddarn day and I can't figure out how to turn it off (I suspect it can't be turned off). More and more the software I use is no longer designed to be useful for me, it's designed to sell me something I don't want. It's getting to the point where I want to discretely modify a Komatsu bulldozer in my garage and go for a joyride in Minecraft.
Sorry for the rant I just fricking hate modern UX designers so fricking much.

Theyre heading towards turning the OS into an online service. Theyll annoy people with shitty features to get you to pay for better ones since so many people are locked in.
Back in the XP days they implemented shitty licensing control that would slow your system to a crawl if it thought it found a bad key. Theyve removed plenty of good features since Win NT then resold them back later. Itll just keep getting worse if they can get away with it.

I heard that, but what sucks is that you still have to pay for this shit in the first place and its not cheap
If they are gonna pull this bullshit then at least make it free
