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.

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

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 72 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 5 points 1 year ago

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/

I game on Linux but my friends on xboxs, proton does not come into it sadly.

I wish they went with the winrar model. Winrar just nags you once when starting. Windows keeps trying to trick you into giving them your data and signing up for a subscription.

Don't you compare windows to that time honoured and helpful software. WinRAR knows when to quit, and is free
