No it doesn't, unless you have it set that way.

I love Linux but most complaints about Windows is just lack of user knowledge and getting mad that it doesn't work like Linux.

Windows updates anyways after several restarts choosing not to. I guess it's some kind of default setting that may be set off too.

What about importing tabs without consent? Is that also lack of user knowledge? Even when it was turned off in settings?
