It’s for your own good, mind (and some Windows 11 users will get this too)
  • A new patch is being quietly pushed to Windows 10 (and 11) PCs
  • It’ll force upgrades in certain circumstances to keep the PC in support
  • This update will mean more nag prompts coming to your PC

    Stuff like this is why I disabled the TPM on my computer. No TPM means that you’re “not eligible” for 11, meaning I don’t get nagged by the random full screen pop-ups.

      I updated my bios at some point and it turned on the TPM again, be careful! When I got an update window and quite the shock, I added a group policy to block the update as a backup.

    The nagging to pay for the OneDrive subscription is something I would only see on trashy websites full of ads. I guess that’s what Windows has become.

      I figured to turn on one drive for my business user account as I was using two computers.

      Then I decided, that I didn’t want it to sync the documents folder since I don’t really use it.

      The settings told me that it can’t stop syncing the desktop, pictures, or documents folders because they had critical files or something like that.

      I just signed out of OneDrive and the problem was solved.

      If it was so critical why does everything work after signing out?

      I fucking hate using windows.

      Google is the same. Every time I open the stock gallery app instead of the FOSS one it nags me to enable backups for my photos. And I know if I do I will be forced to pay their subscription.

    Is there anyway to permanently stop windows from updating? I tried few methods off YT but updates do not stop.

    (No, don’t recommend me Linux. I have tried it(Mint and Manjaro) and it is way out of my skillset)
