The message will be at the bottom of the start menu. If you are on a new install of Windows, the message instead will be Try Edge. Once you clear that message and try again, you'll get the register to vote message.

The rest of the tech industry was implicated as well, which is even less reasonable, but makes more sense in terms of attempting to drum up political support by coercion: help us, or your employees will know you're helping our opponent.
Location is set to "France", regional settings to "English (Europe)" and display language to "English (US)".
People experience the world differently than you do. People have different priorities and needs and expectations than you do. And none of that makes them wrong or inferior or ignorant or foolish or anything to be confused by.
OSX machines are prohibitively expensive for most, so Windows is the only reasonable option.
Is this a Mac vs Windows thing?
I feel like OP was implying people should use Linux.
You can either go to your local town hall or do it over the internet (tick a few boxes, attach a proof of citizenship and residency in the town / district (for Paris) and they'll send you a confirmation).
Voting isn't a Constitutionally guaranteed right in the US, it's a privilege. Although the Supreme Court and various Constitutional Amendments greatly restrict the power of states to disenfranchise their citizens, states do have that power (for instance convicted felons often lose the right to vote.)
Also, voter registration laws have traditionally been an effective way of suppressing African American and immigrant voters[0] (who tend to vote Democrat) so red states tend to vigorously support such laws.

The difference is subtle and depends on the country, state/province, and even down to the local municipality. I'd have not idea how to correctly title this for, say, South Sudan or East Timor.
It also looks like you need to change a registry key if you want to disable it.
That said, I'm running the non-LTSB/LTSC builds of Windows but I think I've gotten all of the underdocumented group policy settings set to disable all of the unwanted Bing/ads/web integration. The only thing I'm dreading now is the next unexpected and unwanted feature-update that will trash all of my files on-disk.
I'd be fine with automatic major OS updates if Windows had its own partition or physical volume to go-crazy in while my own silo'd programs, configuration data, and personal files were on a physically separate drive with a hardware interlock to prevent the OS from writing to it unless I gave it permission.
(Yes, I lost 2 years worth of files in the October 2018 Windows feature update because I was using folder redirection)
