I'm running five windows 11 machines and I'm not getting any rainbow flags. I can only assume that you are getting them because you fucked up in the beginning. Sorry, but It's time to start over. You likely agreed to the Windows spyware when you first set up your computer. The only way back is to start over fresh. Save all of your files to an external something. If you don't already have all of your files saved to an external something you are fucking up anyways, but save them to a second or third external something for redundancy and resiliency. Make a list of the programs that you will want to reinstall. Next you need to download a Windows 10 iso and flash it to a usb drive. I specify 10 because it's easier to get around the spyware and you can update to 11 in a few days after installing enough updates and if your hardware is good enough. This will be a general guide and you can google or youtube all of the specifics. I use Balena Etcher for writing iso's usually. Now that you have a windows flash drive and have hopefully backed everything up shut down your computer. I'm going from memory but this is the general sequence. If you have problems there could be some bios issues to rectify, Pm me. Stick the flash drive in and start the computer. It might ask you if this is a repair or something. This is new. When it tells you everything will be deleted, that is a lie, but yeah you want to do that. You want to write the whole drive if that comes up. If all of that works out good you will end up at a setup section. This is the critical part. Do not have a ethernet cable plugged into your machine. If it asks about wifi say no and you might have to back out of a screen. I know what to do when I see it but my memory is shit. What you are looking for is Windows will give up and prompt you to set up a local account. Local means to your machine and not on the Microsoft servers. This is what you want. set up that account and there will be a screen at some point asking you to give a bunch of permissions to Cortana and location services and a whole lot of shit that a normie could see as useful. Click no on every fucking thing. None of it actually helps your user experience. There is enough spyware built into Windows that your experience will be fine. They are just asking about vast overreaches that some governments in the world have decided breech your privacy. A few more screens and restarts and yay you have less gay Windows. Never create or sign into a Microsoft account on your computer. Unless you are doing some non normie shit there is no reason to create a Microsoft account.
