Are they going to ask or just do whatever they want with my computer?
This is why I don’t date Microsoft employees.
my computer?
“Your computer?” – Microsoft probably
It certainly feels that way. I uninstall all the stuff I don’t want and the bastards put it right back in the next update, alongside some new crap I didn’t ask for.
You have to spell no in ASCII.
I’m surprised they didn’t name it Clippy.
Nha, Links was a lot better anyway
The ‘C’ in copilot stands for Clippy
Top o’ the mornin’ to ya. Clippy O’Pilot at yer service.
I liked the little yellow dog better.
Makes sense, since Microsoft explicitly won’t allow a massive number of computers to install Windows 11.
Jokes on them, my win10 setup won’t even update anymore. Can’t be bothered to do a reinstall.
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.
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
1112?They already put it into Edge.
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.
There are many things on Windows people don’t like: Preinstalled bloatware, Edge, Microsoft spyware. As you simply cannot disable them under Windows, the only way not to use them is to upgrade to Linux, it seems.
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…
As long as it’s not running in the background using a single bit of my RAM then I’m fine with it tbh.
Narrator: it was running in the background in his RAM.
Yeah when stuff like that happens I start going through my install to get vengance. Eventually I intend to keep this machine as a windows machine and build my next computer with linux.
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.
turn feature off
windows needs to update
feature mysteriously turned back on
repeat ad nauseam
Yeah I feel like people are being surprisingly optimistic about this
I genuinely feel most of them are Microsoft bots.
There are some dark patterns in the setup experience that might cause that.
Turn off the “Show me the Windows welcome experience after updates…” and the “Suggest ways I can finish setting up…” options in settings.
I bet if you’re having preferences change on you, it’s because you’re clicking ok or next without reading during these nag screens.
Super dumb they don’t have it by default, but there are third party projects to patch the functionality in at least
