I just picked the one that lets me decide when to download the updates instead of when MS decides it's time for me to download the updates. And I paid for the pro version just to get that.

It'll be the last time I pay anything for Windows, and no, I don't mean I'm going to switch to the ad supported version next. I'm hoping the last xbox game pass subscription payment I made before finally cancelling it is the last money they ever get from me.

And to add insult to injury, one of the last things I did before cancelling was scroll through their list of games and add the interesting looking ones to my steam wishlist, as well as the ones I uninstalled and enjoyed playing.

And yes, I realize I could have looked at that game list without a sub, but I had been delaying cancelling for a while because I always saw more games that I wanted to try when I looked through what they had and needed to do that to let go.
