Got this via Mastodon which will not let me search for the source.

If you're in the US, when you set up Windows for the first time, select English (Europe) or English (World), not English (US). That will stop it installing all the bloatware that USians are not protected from but everyone else is.

We leave in Japan, and my wife had that popup once already (using Brave on Win10 - surface laptop)
