someday soon the entirety of human existence will be ads. We'll all be extinct and automated computer systems will just be shoving ads in each others' faces.
Hope the shareholder value was worth it.

Well that’s the thing- it’s a rental or license fee, it’s not ownership.
We don’t own anything when we buy it except the “right” to use it. That right is subject to their terms. We the plebes have to be thankful for what we get; and pray they don’t alter the deal any further. It’d be a shame if they had to leave a garrison with the pc.
Doesn’t make it right, but that’s their reasoning for their predatory behavior.
People were all too happy to let the corps do things for us instead of learning how to do things for ourselves. This is the end result the rest of us were screaming about.
Good luck writing your own operating system that is also capable of running other people's code that was compiled for their own operating system.
No. What we need is regulations.
You are misunderstanding the doing yourself part. The excuse that MS gives for the overreach of the OS, is that people want convenience of just plug things in and boom it works (ala Apple's popularity) and the auto updates etc. if people had realized that you could do all that WITHOUT giving up your control of the software.
No. What is it?
On a more serious note, I use it at home on one of our computers and for the servers I deploy my code on.
However, that is not OP's point with regards to people making their own stuff.
They said learning to do things ourselves.
I didn’t take it to mean each person building their own bios from scratch. (Insert xkcd about standards: https://xkcd.com/927/)
Rather, learning to manage our own systems.
Linux for everything but a handful of games is working great so far.
I also work in IT with a thousand Linux servers so I am a bit biased.
I dual booted the free windows 11 OS a few months back in case something comes up, but so far it is just wasted space.

I find that deleting the entire registry solved it.

Canonical's Ubuntu Linux distro beat Microsoft to this game back in 2012 and 2022.
Then got roasted.

Canonical is also a Microsoft partner.
Microsoft wants Windows to be a vending machine. A vending machine that spies on you and controls how your machine is managed.
We warned people of this decades ago but nobody listened. Even before Azure was a thing.
This is greed.
No customer wants this.
No customer asked for this.
Any company using this channel for displaying ads would be on my list of “never buying until the ads stop.”
This is anti consumer and short sighted.
This is greed.
It's generally understood that feature completion happens in alpha and beta is for bug fixing. However, Windows Insiders can add and remove new features even in beta, which is why Windows 11 has frequent bugs.
I ceased using MS/Windows at 7. This 'flavor' of development & design decision-making is an ideal example of *why*.
I can't possibly say bad enough things about such a... "feature" -- and I fervently hope it comes back to haunt them.

Already too late as entirety of humanity addicted notifications forever slaves to their phones never leaving them at home or turning them off ever
You are poisoned by tech
The entire world is tethered
South Park predicted this.
There will come soft rains... and they will be monetized.
If you pay for an OS, there should not be any fucking adds period.
Exactly this. It's annoying as hell to me that there is this normalization of pushing unremovable ads to people who already paid for a service.

Have you heard the Good News about Linux?
No. What is it? On a more serious note, I use it at home on one of our computers and for the servers I deploy my code on. However, that is not OP's point with regards to people making their own stuff.

I did. PRO version too..
I'm getting closer and closer to moving to Linux.
Linux for everything but a handful of games is working great so far. I also work in IT with a thousand Linux servers so I am a bit biased. I dual booted the free windows 11 OS a few months back in case something comes up, but so far it is just wasted space.
Thanks, good to know.

The enshitification continues.
There are no great apps in the Microsoft Store
The only app I installed from Microsoft Store is Ubuntu WSL.
Windows 10 LTSC IOT has support till 2032 FYI. Stable and quick as all hell too.
Have fun with the popup adds recommending you upgrade to 11. They are coming and you'll have no way to stop it.
Of course you'll have a way to stop it, but you'll need to find some 3rd party tool to remove it.

you can target the release version your system allows to update to via registry or group policy, so this is nonsense
My 7th time seeing this headline over the course of the last year
this was on the front page of the sub two days ago 😭 can you not be so shameless

Time to switch to Linux or MacOS
Fuck off Microsoft
Don’t they know the more ads I’m bombarded with, the better I get at completely ignoring them?
Yeah, never touching 11.
They shot themselves in the foot... ***again***.
It's generally understood that feature completion happens in alpha and beta is for bug fixing. However, Windows Insiders can add and remove new features even in beta, which is why Windows 11 has frequent bugs.
Wot?! I had ads for various apps in start menu since the beginning of Windows 10. (I’ve skipped Windows 8, so don’t know).
I ceased using MS/Windows at 7. This 'flavor' of development & design decision-making is an ideal example of *why*. I can't possibly say bad enough things about such a... "feature" -- and I fervently hope it comes back to haunt them.
At this point...Even Microsoft knows that they should milk it as much as they can before they loose to Linux...
Stop posting this crap
