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.

It would be better if there was a no option and not just a delay.

Yeah but the reason many companies stopped offering that (and we had this problem, too) is that users journalize clicking that like they click "OK" in installers or for cookies.

And when you have stuff that is important, they're used to never interacting with it mentally.

Sure here it's just about tracking shit and defaults, but there's good reason to force the user to engage with something that could be an important setting.

None of these are important settings though. These are all just ads for Microsoft services. The only one that even appears remotely important, changing browser settings, is really just trying to get you to set Edge as the default browser again, so really just another advertisement.

Oh I agree. That's why my first post said, the overall UX behind this is solid, even if they use it for shitty purposes.

Careful buddy, you can't make logical points about windows systems. The Linux gooners on Lemmy are ready to beat their meat aggressively while taking your points out of context. Even if you agree with them overall.

I could imagine that for stuff like not having set up any internet connection, as long as there's a setting to disable the reminder for those who know what they're doing. But for these services, absolutely not, that's literally spam at that point and arguably falls under anti spam laws which makes it illegal to not have opt-out available.
