Well, sometimes Microsoft decides to change your settings back. This has happened to me very frequently after installing Windows updates. I remember finding myself turning the same settings off time and again.
The "fuck you, user!" behavior of software companies now means there's no more "No", only "Maybe later". Every time I update Google Photos, it shows me the screen that "Photos backups are not turned on! Turn on now?" (because they want to upsell their paid storage space option).
It also now bugs me to do face scanning every so often too
And unlike most things, both prompts require you to explicitly click some sort of "no", not just click away to dismiss. The backup one is particularly obnoxious because you have to flip a shitty little slider as the only button is "continue". Fuck. Off.
I mean at this point I think it's really just utter incompetence over at Microsoft to design a system that can be updated without breaking it. They have never actually cared about solving that problem.
If they had taste, someone opinionated over there would knock heads before shipping another version of windows that requires restarts or mutates user settings.
