If it follows the same pattern for all MS features, there will be a check box to turn it off, but it will be on by default. So if you don't like it, turn it off and save your outrage, like me, for the absence of a vertical taskbar in Windows 11.

There are some dark patterns in the setup experience that might cause that.

Turn off the "Show me the Windows welcome experience after updates..." and the "Suggest ways I can finish setting up..." options in settings.

I bet if you're having preferences change on you, it's because you're clicking ok or next without reading during these nag screens.
