Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff

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.

Just upgrade back to Windows 10.

Windows 10 has this same screen, just a bit different looking. You turn off this notification in the settings menu.

Is that even possible? I thought it was randomly forcing the change to Windows 11 on Windows 10 users anyway.

My PC cant run windows 11 outright, which is hilarious since most of the parts are relatively new.
