I think the various debloat scripts (Chris Titus etc.) should take care of this.

Obviously this remedy is just harm reduction.

Going forward I will be maining various Linux distros and using Wine/Proton compatibility, or TinyWin10 on a VM, for any tasks that absolutely require Windows.

Just thinking out loud, if you use another launcher app, do you ever have to use the start menu?

I checked the website, so it's like a micro scripted app compilation?? Does the thing is a run/tweak then close, or does it needs to reside as a background service/task?

You start with a fresh Windows install and run the playbook on it. It's practically a one time script

Geez, MS, it's a place to filter a list with a few keystrokes and/or click a link or punch enter. It's such shit ad real estate you're just pissing off people about to discover nobara or this for nothing

Every day that passes, I feel more validated in my decision to no longer use their OS.
