It's been way out of hand for a long time and every update of every crucial piece of software has something new. The only major software I haven't felt to need to comb through all the settings looking for new useless features, telemetry, nag screens, re-enabled previously disabled garbage, etc. after every update is Linux.
you don't need to comp through the windows NT changelog either. Its the bundled adware that's the problem, and you can get that in some linux distributions as well.
