Windows still has the following annoyances 1. Advertisements for One Drive storage in windows explorer. 2. Advertisements for Candy Crush and other games in start menu. 3. Advertisements and nag prompts to try Edge browser when you attempt to download chrome or switch your default browser. 4. Collects lots of telemetry. Yes, most of the above issues can be solved by digging into the settings and turning them off but they shouldn't exist in the first place.

> Advertisements and nag prompts to try Edge browser when you attempt to download chrome

That was in a preview build and was rolled back after internet outrage.

> or switch your default browser

Edge just says "Recommended for Windows 10" next to it's entry in the list of installed browsers.
