Linux is waiting.
Some like living in a nest of hornets 🤷♂️
I don't know why people are surprised when a for-profit company prioritizes profits over their customers...
I was actually quite happy to pay for Windows all these years... it's when they went "free" that this BS started. Go back to a paid model and give us vanilla windows, please!
Can't have profit if you lose all your customers.
Can't make the quarterly numbers with that kind of long-term thinking.
They won't because they are the industry standard. That's the problem with tech these days, there is barely any competition
If they lose customers they'll just try to exploit the few they have left. As more people switch to another OS windows is going to get worse and worse.
They bought the ticket, but don't want the ride for some reason.
I've been using Shut Up 10 by O&O Software for ages now. Turns off all recommended telemetry and you can go a step further and disable a ton of stuff, basically anything irksome that M$ pulls.
It's free as well. I haven't noted any negative issues with it. Also works on Win 11
I love ShutUp10. Like you, I have used it for years now with zero problems. It places many different settings and options into one single app. The same settings that Microsoft likes to hide from us by scattering arbitrarily it all over Settings, Control Panel, the registry, etc.
How does it compare to Win Aero Tweaker?
Wish I knew, never used it! I only ever used Shut Up 10, as prior to 10, the telemetry wasn't as prominent, or at least seemingly so.
$10 says it wouldn’t show on the screenshot anyway.
me too while playing Minecraft. now using Ubuntu 23.04, MC with GPU, VS Codium and FF. no problems.
Happened to me on a recent Windows update too. A popup about Game Pass and a Bethesda game I'm no longer buying.
Yep..... The same Bethesda game happened to show up in a screensaver. Money grubbing assholes!
Windows 10 or windows 11?
Home or enterprise?
I got it on enterprise Win10 22H2 today. Just nuts
Yeah. The only reason I asked about home vs enterprise was to see which advice would be more useful. Enterprise gives you more control to turn things off at the system level. I agree. It is nuts.
Home.
Damn. With enterprise you can go into the command line and just turn off all the stuff including Cortana. With home things are a lot harder. Someone else in the comments talked about disabling a bunch of stuff and that may be your best bet.
