Have you used windows recently? It sounds like you have. I installed it last week for the first time in ten-ish years - afraid I have to describe it as disgusting and completely undoing all the supposedly open work pr they've been getting. I'm on the phone so can't rant, but the install was endless info requests, some sneaky eg can we have your location, no, would you like us to find your device if stolen, erm. Open the browser, news thumbnails riddled with adverts. The timeline, extend beyond 30 days by giving us info. On and on. Sorry, they looked as though they had changed direction, but that surface laptop now runs Linux.
