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.

    Windows is nagware now. Microsoft dared to imagine an entire OS on the Winrar model.

      Its actually worse than that. I PAID for Windows. If I paid for WinRAR they would stop.

        Well WinRAR only nags you when you use it, unlike windows that is always running and almost always nagging.

      I wish they went with the winrar model. Winrar just nags you once when starting. Windows keeps trying to trick you into giving them your data and signing up for a subscription.

      Don’t you compare windows to that time honoured and helpful software. WinRAR knows when to quit, and is free
