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.

      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.

          If you stop using Windows, it also stops nagging you.

      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
