I will investigate, but if you have a solid source for that it would save me the trouble. Thanks anyways. I’d really like for MS to stop doing this if they haven’t, I have a personal ban on running Windows outside of VMs until its over.

UPDATE:

Sigh... you are correct. Fresh install, Win10 Pro, same garbage.

Are you signed into Microsoft account or using local account?

I've heard that Microsoft account sync the start menu layout, so it might come from your previous install.

I'm using Win10 1903 fresh install (local account) and I haven't get candy crush tile ever.

Previously a fresh install was enough to fix windows. Does it mean that you need a new online account every time you reinstall?

Local account. If you are connected to the network it tries to download it.

most people think that the start menu ribbons are things that are installed. however with windows pro for home users you might also get candy crush, but there is also windows pro for business which only has some ribbons like bubble witch that would install it, when clicked.

i'm still always confused why somebody creates two versions and label them 'as business' and as home use.
