I always read about these new annoying windows features but I never actually encounter them on my Win11 PC…
Is it because I’m on a professional license?
Yes. They only show start menu ads and bullshit like this to standard users.
nope I’m on home and I’ve never seen any start menu ads or shit like that (default configuration is pretty bad tho), except pre-pinned stuff that can just be unpinned (pro also has it too)
there’s no reason to use pro except GPO, and if you only care about local group policies, you can just poke the registry
Wrong community
At a certain point if you aren’t at least looking at alternatives to running windows you have no self respect.
I always suggested that they tell their software team to offer sincere entreatments of self harm to management. No one actually reads them so my malignant rage was hardly even rude. If anyone on the windows software team is reading this, I still hate whoever came up with this. Forward my regards to your boss. Regards
Other: Fuck you
"It's not you, it's me" surprisingly absent from the list of options.

Or download Rufus and use it to create a Linux install flash drive.

I would rather remove Onedrive using winget and call it a day.

Don’t forget to remove Chrome with a third party tool or a registry hack, disable the search field (again), also you should probably check if all telemetry settings were switched back on with the last update, by the way why haven’t you subscribed to M365 yet, that’s why we forced you to create an account after all? and please fill out this survey before we let you log in without giving us your phone number.

Entirely eliminating proprietary garbage like Windows from your life sounds better to me. After a couple of Windows Updates OneDrive, Edge and all the other garbage you uninstall will be back, Windows behaves like fucking malware, it’s a cancer. On Linux, won’t ever have to deal with this garbage ever again. You will also have access to much better package managers than winget.
