I don't know where or what version of Windows this is but I administer a shit ton of windows devices and have never seen this. Wondering if this is a home edition or some version of OEM.
Interestingly enough, it didn’t happen on my work PC. My work PC has had other shenanigans tho (weather and news apps adding themselves to my task bar)
I don’t remember if the arrow happened to me while I was on 10, I have since upgraded to 11, but I do have the pro version. It was a few years ago
Looking into it now, they seem to have a separate pro license for “workstations” marketed at businesses, that may have something to do with it?
The Enterprise SKU I don't believe has that added.
We have to rely on the prep version mostly, which has the shenanigans. Fortunately, you can turn those things off after the fact.
What we are fighting with now is trying to deploy an image without the advertised apps, but since they are provided by the CDN, which cannot be disabled (yet).
