Public bug reported: Created link includes a lot of nonsense such as microsoft edge, spotify, gamebar. None of that nonsense is in my windoze or wsl/ubuntu enviroment variables, either. And I checked for malware recently and there is nothing but "netcat" which was deliberately installed. Spotify is installed because it came with the machine.
