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.

    I never understood people getting annoyed by this.

    Yes, MS can get pushy advertising their products. What would you expect? I had Windows 11 for a few years I have zero problems. I work and play games on my ROG and it’s fast. That’s what I need.

    When things like this appear I have muscular memory like when I see ads on websites: close or ignore.

      I’ve probably had less then a dozen web ads in the last year, I’ve blocked them as much as possible.

      My main issue is I paid for Windows and still get ads, its annoying. But I comprehend your perspective. It wouldn’t have bothered me as much if a “Do not remind me again” option was there.
