They put ads in the startmenu and take “snapshots” of your machine every few seconds to train AI to replace office workers.
At least on Pro / Enterprise / Education edition there are no ads. Maybe I have disabled them, no idea. It could be that this is a thing in Home edition that cannot be easily disabled, have never used Home edition in my life to be honest.
