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.
2023-08 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5029351)
What I’m probably going to do is reinstall windows 11, complete updates, run de-bloater. Then install Ubuntu along side windows (super easy) and disable Ubuntu Telemetry. Use Ubuntu as primary for just about anything, have a win VM if I can use it or worst case Windows still available if I absolutely need it.
I wanted to try Quebes but my device isn’t compatible. Having Win installed, I could use it strictly for gaming too if I wanted.
If you’re going to reinstall windows, try installing tiny11: https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, consider this.
Nice, I’ll check it out! I only plan on still having it installed because some exams I take might not work in a VM. Literally the only reason I plan to dual boot.
Good for you. Keep working at it. I’m not sure what usecase you have for your computer, but I am very sure you’ll find a solution or alternative to all your problems.
Really? AFAIK the only thing special it requires that a normal OS doesn’t is virtualization, and any reasonably-modern x86 CPU should support that just fine. What does your hardware lack?
