Hey Microsoft, Stop Installing Apps On My PC Without Asking

Chris Hoffman, writing for How To Geek: I'm getting sick of Windows 10's auto-installing apps.

Windows 10 has always been a little annoying about these apps, but it wasn't always this bad. Microsoft went from "we pinned a few tiles, but the apps aren't installed until you click them" to "the apps are now automatically installed on your PC" to "the automatically installed apps are now sending you notifications." It's ridiculous.
