I have literally never seen this occur outside of:
it attempting to reset the default PDF viewer multiple times
twice when the entire group of settings related to cortana/internet search from the taskbar changed and they didn’t attempt to map previous choices to the new settings
That was over the course of a literal decade, most of it with a day job working IT and sysadmin in a Windows environment.
If you’ve got more hard evidence of MS doing this I’d love to see it, but as far as I can tell this comes from the same place that has resulted in every support thread saying you need to run “SFC /scannow”.
My PC used to turn itself on occasionally after I put it to sleep at night and went to bed. Over a span of weeks, I’d track down the latest reason for starting up and disable it until it would only wake on keyboard or by hitting the power button.
Except I’d have to reapply them because it would just randomly be enabled again.
