Really annoying how the "news and interests" Microsoft thing keeps doing stuff I don't want. It doesn't just bother me because it's downloading random stuff I don't care about, but it also stops the screen reader from working when it's reading text. I've turned it off with a registry tweak but I wish it weren't necessary to resort to such extreme measures.

In case someone needs the registry edits at issue:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\NewsAndInterests\AllowNewsAndInterests]
"value"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Feeds]
"EnableFeeds"=dword:00000000
