Are they going to ask or just do whatever they want with my computer?

There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not attempt to adjust Windows. We are controlling Windows. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the firewall. We will control Windows Update. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: There is nothing wrong with your computer. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the outer limits.

There's really not much "outer" to Windows's limits.

When you use proprietary software, you’re renting, not buying.

I run Windows 10 Enterprise for this reason - because unlike Home, you can turn any of their bullshit off with GPOs. But I’m tired of protecting myself against their OS, and once Win10 is EOL, I’ll be going to Linux after using Windows since the 3.1 days.

I’m going to have to somehow figure out how to switch my uncle’s office to Linux.
I don’t even know if I’ll be able to pull it off with some of the stuff they use and it would cost way too much money to migrate. I definitely don’t have what it takes to do a job like that alone nowadays.

Makes sense, since Microsoft explicitly won’t allow a massive number of computers to install Windows 11.
Blackout@kbin.social 1 year ago
Jokes on them, my win10 setup won't even update anymore. Can't be bothered to do a reinstall.
polle@feddit.de 1 year ago
I reinstalled win10 yesterday on a laptop that iam selling. The windows app store doesn’t work out of the box anymore. Just errorcodes. Its such a joke.
Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I’m in the same boat. My copy can’t see the bootloader, even though it’s booting >.<
Linux is coming, as soon as I can be bothered

You mean Windows

The negative reaction to this kind of thing baffles me. I see it as a neat new feature that'll make my life easier. But if for whatever reason you don't like it... don't use it. No biggie.
synapse1278@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, it’s not like Microsoft’s style to force or nag there users into using whatever product. Nobody ever had any trouble turning off Onedrive, or uninstalling Edge.

We remember Cortana. Hard to not think about it and not expect a similar quality of implementation.
Even today while disabled I continue to open Cortana by mistake... Which won't work since it's disabled...
dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Just this morning I was noodling through my start menu, as you do, and on a lark I right clicked and uninstalled Cortana. (This is on Windows 10.) Windows has never allowed me to do that before. You could disable it, you could hide it, but you could not uninstall it. The option just was not there. Some update somewhere along the line enabled an actual uninstall and I don’t know which one.
Immediately I had a hunch they were planning to replace it with some new bullshit. That’s the only reason Microsoft would ever let it go.
Treczoks@kbin.social 1 year ago
There are many things on Windows people don't like: Preinstalled bloatware, Edge, Microsoft spyware. The only way not to use them is to upgrade to Linux, it seems.
PancakeLegend@kbin.social 1 year ago
If it follows the same pattern for all MS features, there will be a check box to turn it off, but it will be on by default. So if you don't like it, turn it off and save your outrage, like me, for the absence of a vertical taskbar in Windows 11.
metaStatic@kbin.social 1 year ago
turn feature off
windows needs to update
feature mysteriously turned back on
repeat ad nauseam
neoman4426@kbin.social 1 year ago
Super dumb they don't have it by default, but there are third party projects to patch the functionality in at least

As long as it's not running in the background using a single bit of my RAM then I'm fine with it tbh.
Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 1 year ago
Narrator: it was running in the background in his RAM.
snorkbubs@fedia.io 1 year ago
The software did, in fact, run in the background.
But, I shut it off!
No, you're mistaken.
I remember doing it.
Nah. You didn't.
Yes, I did.

I actively hate co-pilot on my work computer. I really don’t want it doing the same stuff Cortana did. Popping up when I didn’t need or ask for it. I just want to search. Leave me alone.

They already put it into Edge.
