During start up it asked me if I wanted to change my browser settings and I said no. My settings were not changed. Either you clicked yes without realizing what it would do, or there was something that made it not ask you. I think the wording of the question was something along the lines of “internet security”, which is Microsoft’s way of tricking users, so you may not have realized what it would do when you said yes

I agree with your assessment. They use dark patterns to get people to click yes.
