I find this mildly infuriating, I only use Windows for work, I even personally purchased Windows 11. Local account and disabled as much as I could. I personally do not like Windows or Windows in general.

Well, now I do an update and they throw this up like I need to walk thru these steps (again). Not even a “Skip”/“Don’t remind me again”. Windows is not what it used to be and after disabling half the Microsoft stuff I’d expect not to be bothered again. It’s really a built in ad more then anything.

    These aren’t new or changed system settings though, apart from maybe Windows Hello (which isn’t new anyway). Nearly everything on this screen is an attempt to upsell users on Microsoft’s subscription products.

    If a user doesn’t want to buy those subscription products, and is given no way to properly decline, that it is a user hostile experience.

      And having no other option than “remind me in 3 days” is bullshit which should get the product manager who signed off on it sent to prison
