Haven't received them as of yet..but I will be rechecking all of my settings when I do..
You SO nailed it with the placebo effect!

Checked my settings and In notifications and actions the MS Store was turned ON. I know for sure it has always been OFF as I don't want anything to do with the MS store or its apps.

I normally keep this machine as private as MS allows. But I just checked Privacy settings after Update (KB3200970) and found microphone toggled 'on'. And 'Store access to microphone' toggled to 'on'. Those weird settings are not mine. I, too, avoid the Store and Apps like the plague.
