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)
Remind me in 3 days. That shit should be against the law. There should be a don’t bug me ever again option.
Try to uncheck “Suggest ways I can finish setting up my device to get the most out of Windows”/“Show me the Windows welcome experience after updates and occasionally when I sign in to highlight what’s new and suggested” in Settings -> System -> Notification & actions (Windows 10) or “Offer suggestions on how I can set up my device” in Settings -> System -> Notifications (Windows 11)
Windows is nagware now. Microsoft dared to imagine an entire OS on the Winrar model.
Its actually worse than that. I PAID for Windows. If I paid for WinRAR they would stop.
Well WinRAR only nags you when you use it, unlike windows that is always running and almost always nagging.
If you stop using Windows, it also stops nagging you.
I have but for this PC, and only due to game pass not working nice on Linux (I like to play games with old friends far away)
I understand. If you don’t already know it, you can look up here if your games would work on Linux: https://www.protondb.com/
Don’t you compare windows to that time honoured and helpful software. WinRAR knows when to quit, and is free
We can bitch all we want but their dollars still go up
This kind of shit is what made me switch to Linux. I just didn’t feel like I owned my computer anymore.
I always hate it when magas and qultists scream about Bill Gates trying to fix malaria and shit. GODDAMIT PEOPLE DID YOU WHAT HE HAS ALREADY DONE
Edit: he made Windows guys, isn’t that bad enough?
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?
Uninstall onedrive
That’s actually a good thing IMO, Microsoft is giving people more reasons to switch to Linux. How kind of them!
Windows is bullshit
Laughing from Debian
Remember, there are always alternatives…
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…
I wonder whether the developers who wrote this script, did it in order to avoid these annoying messages by themselves
That choice between Remind me in 3 days or Accept shows the compete contempt they have for the user.
Also that idiotic “let’s finish setting up your computer”, as if Microsoft is your friend helping you out.
Guys you need to stop using this software. Why do you think so many fan boys are yelling about linux all the time? Because it’s fantastic these days.
Laughing from Ubuntu
I’m really considering switching back to Linux. I don’t really play PC games any more - I don’t have time for many games and just use my Xbox now. I do often use Visual Studio (could be replaced with Rider and VS Code), and occasionally use LaunchBox’s “BigBox” on my TV, but I could always just dual-boot. Most of the other things I do are available on Linux.
The last time I used Linux on desktop was around 2007-2008, when I dual-booted Windows XP and Ubuntu 6.06. It’d be interesting to see how much it’s improved since then. I’ve been using Debian on servers for over 20 years though, so I’m familiar with Linux administration.
Congrats on the consideration pal.
I use Ubuntu for my personal desktop and work desktop, and it works smoothly without “Microsoft surprises” like this post. I also don’t game in PC.
Want to make an easier move? If your Windows is EUFI boot, shrink your Windows partition in half, and on the other half install Ubuntu.
Then you can slowly, in your own pase, start doing more things in the Ubuntu partition, until you’ll find yourself not using the Windows partition anymore.
Not happy? Just remove the Ubuntu partition afterwards, and go back to Windows.
