    If they told people it was just to add more “telemetry” and ads, they wouldn’t install it.

        There are ways around it, but yeah, I think they pretty much get forced on most users afaik.

        There are songs tools which will disable update altogether, Windows Update Blocker… But you know, use at your own risk or whatever.
