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.

So many comments shitting here and not giving helpful advice at all, so so fucking stupid. The best way to get ahead of this would be when the next time this pops up, press Shift + f10 and then type "OOBE\BYPASSNRO" easy and simple, takes only a few seconds and makes everything more seamless, such as no one drive bullshit etc..

Easy and simple

Dont forget to shit on linux afterwards for how difficult it is

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly I find constantly having to keep on top of disabling questionable windows features and bloat (knowing I've definitely missed something) more difficult and exhausting than just using linux. Linux feels way more "easy and simple" to me than windows ever has been.

You can prevent this. Click remind later then go to your notifications in the settings app. Uncheck "Suggest ways I can finish setting up" and anything else you don't want to see.

"No thanks, I'd rather complain that Microsoft advertising their other services in a totally configurable setting which I can disable is the same as the entire OS literally being an ad."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why do we have to take more time to disable this shit? We are not all.made of unlimited time. And yes "it only takes a few seconds". Every time something like this shows up the seconds add up

Windows users are in an abusive relationship. It's sad, but not unexpected, that some make excuses for their abuser.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Alternatively: You can prevent this. Use a different operating system.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This is the best option, I like Fedora

I love that I have to go out of my way and follow online instructions to undo something that they forced on me in the first place. That's customer antagonistic design for you.

*Complains that Microsoft gives you a way to turn something off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Looks like you missed his point completely

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This kind of shit is what made me switch to Linux. I just didn't feel like I owned my computer anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The most infuriating thing about windows to me is the big stupid fucking red X on every single file, reminding me that I'm not currently storing my shit on someone else's computer. Is there a way to remove that service from my computer entirely?

Disable Manage folder backup feature in OneDrive settings -> Backup -> Manage backup -> Stop backup on all folders, or toggle them off on newer version.

That's what I did, it's one of the few things that it does let you uninstall.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It’s not your computer, it’s Microsoft’s. That’s the message I get from using windows.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Windows is nagware now. Microsoft dared to imagine an entire OS on the Winrar model.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Its actually worse than that. I PAID for Windows. If I paid for WinRAR they would stop.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well WinRAR only nags you when you use it, unlike windows that is always running and almost always nagging.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

If you stop using Windows, it also stops nagging you.
