>Same with "unsolicited popups". What are you using that does this?

Open Chrome.

"Try Microsoft Edge!"

For me it was OneDrive, not sure how to explain it but it felt like every N times I hit CTRL+S to save my work prompted windows to raise a "Hey, try Microsoft One Drive!" modal which stole focus from what I was doing.

One way to absolutely guarantee I will never use your software is to constantly nag me about trying it.

My favorite is that if you turn on "Focus Assist", which is suppose to suppress popups so you can focus, it creates a notification alerting you that you have Focus Assist on. Not just once, but every time you turn on your computer.
