Microsoft won’t let you close OneDrive on Windows until you explain yourself
(www.theverge.com)
I always read about these new annoying windows features but I never actually encounter them on my Win11 PC...
Is it because I'm on a professional license?
Yes. They only show start menu ads and bullshit like this to standard users.
nope I'm on home and I've never seen any start menu ads or shit like that (default configuration is pretty bad tho), except pre-pinned stuff that can just be unpinned (pro also has it too)
there's no reason to use pro except GPO, and if you only care about local group policies, you can just poke the registry
Wrong community
At a certain point if you aren't at least looking at alternatives to running windows you have no self respect.
I always suggested that they tell their software team to offer sincere entreatments of self harm to management. No one actually reads them so my malignant rage was hardly even rude. If anyone on the windows software team is reading this, I still hate whoever came up with this. Forward my regards to your boss. Regards
Other: Fuck you
"It's not you, it's me" surprisingly absent from the list of options.
