The adware isn't just Edge, Windows in general has gotten out of control. The other day I spent a few minutes on high alert because I got a notification about a "Grand Prize Giveaway". I assumed I somehow had malware, but no, the only malware I had was Windows itself [0].

Apparently this was part of Microsoft Rewards, which you can opt out of... in your Microsoft account. If you jumped through the hoops that are now required to get a local account, tough luck.
