Might be worth having a look under Settings / System / Notifications and the check boxes at the bottom of the screen which are:

Show me the Windows welcome experience

Offer suggestions on how I can setup my device

Get Tips and suggestions when I use Windows

Since I turned those off I don't think I've had the browser preferences get reset (I suspect this means the next update will be very annoying and reset my settings).

Think I have unselected those as well but I will check.

For your PC I would run, the green/recommended settings:

That turns off a lot of annoying shit but does not break your OS install like all those shady github scripts do.
