This popped up on my work laptop yesterday. Very annoying.

      Also not an issue when you disable this in windows.

      How do you like having to opt out of everything, repeatedly?

        I wouldn’t know how that feels. Did it once and haven’t had an issue since.

        I think some people here like to shit on windows just to shit on windows and haven’t actually used win11

          Maybe I’ll get a better response to my question here, since you seem to view windows 11 positively and have a positive vote score, so others who are seeing these comments might feel the same.

          Are there any reasons other than the sunsetting of win 10 or the relative newness of 11 to want to use Windows 11?

          The only thing that stood out in the other thread where I asked this was support for multiple virtual desktops.

            Unfortunately, I don’t have a good answer for you.

            I built a new Pc last year and decided to put win11 on it to judge the OS for myself. In all reality, it doesn’t feel much different than win10. Boot up is fast, startup is fast, everything just works.

            Sorry I can’t provide more info.

            I mean might as well use the latest version. HDR improvements and the nicer UI are things I like about 11 over 10.

              Sticking your head in that sand, I’m sure it’ll work out for you, eventually.

                Not sure what point you are trying to make here.

                I’m not having any computer problems.

                  Not sure what point you are trying to make here.

                  You’re not acknowledging the issue of close source OS’s that nag you with unwanted notifications.

                    Why would I acknowledge an issue that doesn’t exist for me?

                    You are barking up the wrong tree here bud. I use the right tool for the job, for me that means windows for my personal machine, Linux for work or special purpose machines. And Mac to write code.

            If there is an option to turn it off, I haven’t found it. It certainly isn’t obvious.

            Apparently that makes me a complete idiot according to the person you’re talking to.

            I apologize for being too stupid to know every way to configure Windows 10, an OS I rarely use.

              As far as I know, it doesn’t exist. But I’m more than willing to be proven wrong and have someone tell us exactly how it’s done.

                Took 2 seconds to Google this. Don’t quite remember if this is the setting I flipped ages ago to disable it on both my home and work PCs but I don’t get this spam and did something that was essentially this simple to do to get it that way.

                  This disables a small subset of notifications you might get using Win10/11 that are tips about using Win10/11. It absolutely does not ‘banish ads from notifications’. You will still get ads in the notification center almost as frequently after performing this action, including from Microsoft, including about Windows.

                    As I said:

                    I flipped ages ago to disable it on both my home and work PCs but I don’t get this spam

                    Ii have not once ever experienced this or any other setting reverting to something else across 5 different win10 devices

                    Fuck Windows, it sucks in so many ways, but idk what some of these people are doing to have settings change behind their backs like they claim happens.
