Microsoft Store History for PC

Hi, All -

Just wiped an old PC and reinstalled Windows 11. I’m 99% sure that I wiped all relevant partitions from the SSD.

I am not signed into anything on the PC. I used OOBE\\BYPASSNRO to setup a local account without internet.

Windows is slowing installing itself with tons of things from Updates and the Microsoft Store.

I’ve noticed dozens of things in the Microsoft Store like “Mozilla Firefox and Canon Inkjet Print Utility” with acquisition dates dating back months and years with notes like “Acquired 8/39/2022”.

How the hell is Microsoft tying this laptop back to previous Microsoft Store purchases, downloads, and history?
