understand why they gave it away

system configuration -> disable xbox shit, windows app store shit
group policy -> disable all windows app store and all its shit
app uninstall -> uninstall as much as you can of windows app store shit and any other shit

install classic shell for start menu of windows 7

still get prompts about sticky notes not able to run, visit app store for details every time you boot up

disable defender, AV scanner, cortana, and all other windows shit, still get notifications popping up moaning about them even when you have disabled notifications

get rid of windows explorer shit https://www.ghisler.com/
