Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff

KrisND@lemmy.world to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 819 points –

I find this mildly infuriating, I only use Windows for work, I even personally purchased Windows 11. Local account and disabled as much as I could. I personally do not like Windows or Windows in general.

Well, now I do an update and they throw this up like I need to walk thru these steps (again). Not even a "Skip"/"Don't remind me again". Windows is not what it used to be and after disabling half the Microsoft stuff I'd expect not to be bothered again. It's really a built in ad more then anything.

Comments like these from Linux users are the equivalent of going on a car maintenance community where someone has said "I'm having a problem with the brake lights on my 2021 Hyundai i20N"

And replying "Hi, I have a Renault Clio and I don't have that problem"

If you have a Renault I don't believe you that you don't have a problem.

Yeah the two car models should be switched, Hyundais are tanks nowadays

Eh, not quite. I'd say a better analogy involves the posts being "I have a (insert car model here) and the brakes are making worrying squealing noises", and "Hi, here's a (link) to a trade-in offer for a model of car that's much less likely to have the brakes fail on you. It won't even cost you anything to swap except 30 minutes of your time."

...and by the way it only runs 80% of the time and there's no way of knowing when 😂
