Turn Off Microsoft Consumer Experiences On Windows
Windows automatically installs some games, third-party apps and application links from the Windows Store for the signed-in user.
In this post, I want to show how to prevent them from being installed, enabling the Group Policy setting: Turn Off Microsoft Consumer Experiences, using the group policy editor or the registry editor.
The way you disable Microsoft Consumer Experience depends on the version of Windows you are using. If you have the Home edition, you can only set this policy through the registry editor, but if you have the Pro, Enterprise or Educational version, you can use the Group Policy Editor.
1. Use the Group Policy Editor
To do this follow the instructions below:
1. Open Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).
2. Navigate to the following branch:
3. Local Computer Policy >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Cloud Content.
4. In the right, double click or double tap on Turn off Microsoft consumer experience.
5. Select Enabled.
6. Click OK when done.
7. Exit from Local Group Policy Editor. You may need to restart the computer for the change to take effect.

Or you can try this-
2. Use the Windows Registry Editor
To do this follow the below instructions:
1. Run Registry Editor (RegEdit).
2. Go to the following Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent
3. Locate the DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures on the right pane after selecting CloudContent.
5. Set its value of the Dword to 1.
6. Exit from Registry Editor. You may need to restart the computer for the change to take effect.
1. Run Registry Editor (RegEdit).
2. Go to the following Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent

It also help to reduce disk usage so I recommended to disable this service.
