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.

It’s not always so simple. I would love to use Linux at work, but my work doesn’t allow me to.
I know, I had the same problem.leep asking them. I’m in the luxury position where I’ll be able to decide what we’ll be using
It’s not work as a company, but work I do in the company, that is preventing me from using linux. I am software delevoper, and we are developing desktop WinForms and WPF apps. The main problem here is that both WinForms and WPF are tied to Windows, and they are not working on any other OS. We would love to port those programs to another platform, but you can’t just port programs that are developed 10+ years overnight. Those project are just too big to port them in some normal time. And there are also 3rd party libraries, that we are required to use, that are made for .NET Framework only. I forgot to mention, that we are using .NET Framework, that is working only on Windows. We could use opensource .NET, which works also on Linux, but even in opensource .NET, both WinForms and WPF works only on Windows. We could use Avalonia instead, because it supports Linux also, but even that is not just straight forward. It would be easier to just create new programs from scratch, but you would still need to support older software, and we just don’t have time nor resources to do that.
Interesting. This sounds similar like the company I’m working at right now. They too have all windows desktop apps and I’m working on porting it all to web apps that simply work on whatever you want to use. Granted, this will take (current estimate) a year or 2-3 if I’m doing it all by myself, but then they’ll have an entirely new platform that is a bazillion times better than they have now and it will work with Linux without a hitch.
I guess the solution there is to just start, somewhere anywhere.
I built my own framework for this, specialized to build web forms and handle tables easily so with this I can rebuild all their required functionalities quite fast
