This is because w32 emacs' internal primary emulation is presently
intra-session only. There may be a way to make it cross-session or even
get primary-like behaviour to/from other w32 apps (involving
accessibility apis), but it would be somewhat nontrivial.
"(global-set-key [mouse-2] 'mouse-yank-at-click)" will cause mouse-2 to
revert to using the kill-ring/clipboard.

w32 in particular has actually long had a platform-specific default in
place corresponding to the most major of the recent changes, funny enough.
Mind you, if you naively reversed the settings as presented in NEWS, it
wouldn't actually restore the old settings on w32, because the fact w32
e.g. already had x-select-enable-clipboard on by default isn't noted.
