I love how after using this OS for nearly 4 years, Windows 11 still insists that I need to "finish setting up my system" and install more Microsoft authorized bloatware.

If you go to System>Notifications and Additional settings all the way at the bottom there is a tick box to disable it. Though I swear I've had it come back, maybe it re-triggers after an updated.

In any case, nice of currysoft to bury this three menus deep in the settings instead of on the same page where it nudges you to install their bloatware.

I think I remember saying these exact words back in the 1990s, ha ha. I remember having to write applications for computers with kilobytes of memory.

Desktop software has plenty of memory to work with, but there have always been limited memory applications in embedded systems, and any decent EE / comp sci program had at least one mandatory class involving that. With shader programming and AI being a first-class citizens now, I’m sure restricted memory environments are even more important.
 
I'm taking an on-line class. The final exam requires a "proctored" remote exam using a chrome extension and a Windows system(or Mac). Since I didn't want to infect any of the systems I use I figured I'd put it on my gaming PC's second NVMe which was always going to get Windows installed. First I was going to try a Microwin ISO I already had, but it booted without drivers. So I went to make a new one, and... it's gone. No longer part of WinUtil. But hark, someone is re-implementing it, but it's only a few days old. Try that, also broken drivers, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I give up. Finally burn Win 11 full and boot that. "Please connect Internet"... fuck you, but you can't get any farther. Fine, connect. Download updates, reboot, download updates reboot, several times. At this point I'm wondering why the hell the ISO is 7GB. Finally tell it a Pro key, domain join, make local account, please answer the secret questions(how about no). Few more reboots and I make it to the desktop and am finally able to run WinUtil to strip it down and install Chrome. Time wasted, over an hour just for the install. Of course then I try and disable the Linux drive so it can't be seen. No BIOS options and no way to do it in Windows since it's the "first" drive even though Windows is on the second drive. Too lazy to check if Windows decided to park itself on the Linux UEFI partition.

I installed Debian 13 with XFCE on a 4GB RAM tiny notebook and that took 15 minutes, no Internet required but I let it patch anyway.
 
There is nothing that could save Windows anymore. It will just infinitely rot in hell and infinite crash boot loops will be fully normalized. Or it goes out of business and computing becomes obsolete in favor of looting, machetes and incendiary grenades.

Boot loop issues? Didn't they have this one already? Or maybe I'm just thinking of the Crowdstrike thing that happened.
Lmao at the DHCP failures. How do you fuck up this - wait you already said that.

You mean the Defender signature definition update that wasn’t an update. Totally forgot about that.

You know what really kills me about that, some validation built into the header that ensures that the update payload is consistent would have fixed that and you could have it reject null updates outright.

At least that’s what normal American engineers would do, but it’s 2026 and Satya must redeem +1000 izzat for every red white and blue blooded American he fires and replaces with some brain dead pajeet.

I wonder if he wears his magical golden Brahmin string around the Seattle campus just to let the other pajeet underlings know that he’s the top jeet and that all gift cards must be redeemed for him good Saar!

Anyone know how to permanantly kill the annoying upgrade to Win11 notifications that constantly popup? I just deleted the RUXIM folder in Program Files but would rather not touch the Registry or GP

That's likely version-related. Do you use Home?

Apologies for the necro, but you're both definitely more knowledgeable than me on this matter. I'm going to be installing Win10 LTSC from a boot stick, use the generic key, then run massgrave just to activate it. Is that sufficient to run my machine without the bloat, or is more necessary/recommended?
