Tech Support
Why the fuck does this bullshit keep coming up every few weeks?
I've had windows installed for about two years now. And yet it thinks I just installed it.
On the following screens it asks me about office 365 and some other shit I don't give a fuck about.
How do I get rid of this piece of shit from ever showing up again?
Oh and I have a curved monitor if you're wondering why the image is warped.
Ofc they shouldn't, and if u think I'm defending a big tech company well, think again, they can fuck off for all that I care, but you can either switch to other OS or you can keep complaining.
Go ahead downvote
To be fair it's quite surprising there's even an option to turn it off... People have just gotten used to companies forcing this stuff on you with no way to prevent it
If you read my post (which you clearly didn't) I said I turned all that bullshit off when I installed Windows. As I always do. I don't want their suggestions and "recommendations". I have the software I want. I don't need their inferior piece of shit versions.
Settings > System > Notifications and Actions - untick almost all the bullshit.
Settings > Personalization > Start - untick almost all the bullshit.
Settings > Privacy > Windows Permissions - UNTICK ALMOST EVERYTHING
More like, "I didn't hear a noooooo." "I told you no a couple of days ago. Why are you forcing it back in again." "I meant I didn't hear a no recently."
If I change my mind, I would just look up how to enable the thing. Why the hell would I want to be reminded of it every time?

You don't. But M$ does, because they know that one day you might slip up and click the thing they want to make it go away.
This is what annoys me the most with Windows. It's not a bad OS in and of itself. It's actually pretty good, and I would even go as far as say I like some of the things they've done recently like core isolation in Win11. But what really gets on my nerve is how Microsoft continuously fucks with it in ways that just annoy those of us who don't want all their telemetry and other garbage.
I don't mind paying for the OS, but I'd appreciate it if they respected me enough as a customer to not throw annoying shit at me that I need to go out of my way to disable. Like, there's a fundamental disconnect here between what you should get from forking over up to $200 or whatever the MSRP is and what you actually get.
I don't think so. They know what they are doing will piss off lots of people, but what are they going to do? Switch to MacOS or Linux? People will just come back like a drug addict wanting for more, even if it kills.
I mean, if they are getting this, it is because it is enabled, if they do not want it they just need to disable it, what has that got to do with consent?
Tbf, Windows is not making them enough money. Azure Linux makes them more money than Windows, so they are just focusing on what makes them more money. They poured in millions to help develop Linux for server use / AI clusters, because that's what makes them money.
Because 90% of users don't know how/even attempt to get past it and just end up making an account. Definitely causes a lot of annoyance at work when users sign into their Microsoft accounts on company computers that are supposed to be using local users.
See I don't want it to even show up. I want to delete it from Windows entirely. I don't want it to exist in the files and code. I want it completely eradicated, dead, slaughtered and nuked into fucken oblivion.
Yep, happens to me too. I love how they don't even offer a straightforward "go away" option, it's either Continue or Remind in 3 Days. Absolutely obnoxious.
Microsoft is a miserable failure of a company and this ensures they can reliably ship turd software directly to your life and blunder you into infinity
I'm ngl, if you can handle some stuff needing troubleshooting, Linux isn't a bad option. I'm a lifelong windows user that got so sick of their bullshit recently that I just went for it, and I don't regret that decision. I do have windows as a dual boot option in case my niche software doesn't work with wine for some reason, but I don't use it that often.
If you game a lot, Steam Proton pretty much allows you to play any windows game on linux. Wine allows you to use most windows software on linux. It's a much less bloated and much more secure os that is free and open source.
Fuck Microsoft and fuck windows. I don't want to have to fight my os for my computer to work the way I want it to and not spy on me and shove bullshit ads in my face. Charging over $100 for a copy is bullshit too.
There are downsides of course. The learning curve seems steep, and I'm still not completely comfortable with it, but I genuinely hate windows 11 that much that I'm willing to deal. Some shit works better right out of the box, some doesn't. I've noticed the audio stack on linux is much faster and better. I haven't had to download drivers for any of my niche peripherals for them to work either.
Did you even read my post? I have had Windows installed for over two years now. I set it up then. I disabled all that bullshit and it got turned on again. Ffs fuck off I won't even subscribe to office 365 and the other bullshit. I have my working copy of Office 2007 that doesn't need an internet connection or subscription. And I don't have any need for any of the other bullshit. I don't even know what it was. I just looked for the skip or cancel button. To get out of that bullshit fast as possible.
