I think I also may have had some ads back with a major update (e.g. Creators,
Fall Creators), but I don't remember having them back ever with the normal
updates.

In any case, it really is just a breeze to remove UWP apps, and they leave no
trace either, so I cannot rationalize how it can be this so annoying to
anyone.

The ad issue is separate to me. They keep adding ads to more and more places
in Windows 10, and each location has a different toggle to turn on / off.

I turned off all advertising options in Windows 10 when I first installed,
only to be greeted by another ad months later which they had added with a
newly downloaded update.

The toggles aren't even centralized, you have to hunt them down in different
menus. I have a hard time believing this wasn't done on purpose.
