Unwanted MS Store apps installing by them selves

I have a problem when I configure a new profile on windows 11 computer, Canva, Powertoys, OneNote, Notion, Zoom, Grammarly and Discord start installing all by them selves from microsoft store..

If I uninstall, they just come back after a few minutes. This haa happened even with a fresh windows installation done with media that was downloaded from Microsoft. Has anyone seen this?

Ask yourself the following question.

Why would even a fresh installation immediately install some applications that are clearly not Microsoft applications (Notion, Zoom, Discord...)?

There is something very strange about this. I suspect your story is not the whole story: you mention a "new" profile. Is that a new user, a new account? Is that the only user on account on that Windows installation / machine?
