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.

This kind of shit is what made me switch to Linux. I just didn’t feel like I owned my computer anymore.
Windows is nagware now. Microsoft dared to imagine an entire OS on the Winrar model.
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.
It’s not your computer, it’s Microsoft’s. That’s the message I get from using windows.
I always hate it when magas and qultists scream about Bill Gates trying to fix malaria and shit. GODDAMIT PEOPLE DID YOU WHAT HE HAS ALREADY DONE
Edit: he made Windows guys, isn’t that bad enough?
We can bitch all we want but their dollars still go up
You can prevent this. Click remind later then go to your notifications in the settings app. Uncheck “Suggest ways I can finish setting up” and anything else you don’t want to see.
Alternatively: You can prevent this. Use a different operating system.
This is the best option, I like Fedora
I love that I have to go out of my way and follow online instructions to undo something that they forced on me in the first place. That’s customer antagonistic design for you.
*Complains that Microsoft gives you a way to turn something off.
Looks like you missed his point completely
“No thanks, I’d rather complain that Microsoft advertising their other services in a totally configurable setting which I can disable is the same as the entire OS literally being an ad.”
Why do we have to take more time to disable this shit? We are not all.made of unlimited time. And yes “it only takes a few seconds”. Every time something like this shows up the seconds add up
Windows users are in an abusive relationship. It’s sad, but not unexpected, that some make excuses for their abuser.
The most infuriating thing about windows to me is the big stupid fucking red X on every single file, reminding me that I’m not currently storing my shit on someone else’s computer. Is there a way to remove that service from my computer entirely?
Disable Manage folder backup feature in OneDrive settings -> Backup -> Manage backup -> Stop backup on all folders, or toggle them off on newer version.
Uninstall onedrive
That’s what I did, it’s one of the few things that it does let you uninstall.
So many comments shitting here and not giving helpful advice at all, so so fucking stupid. The best way to get ahead of this would be when the next time this pops up, press Shift + f10 and then type “OOBE\BYPASSNRO” easy and simple, takes only a few seconds and makes everything more seamless, such as no one drive bullshit etc…
Easy and simple
Dont forget to shit on linux afterwards for how difficult it is
Honestly I find constantly having to keep on top of disabling questionable windows features and bloat (knowing I’ve definitely missed something) more difficult and exhausting than just using linux. Linux feels way more “easy and simple” to me than windows ever has been.
That choice between Remind me in 3 days or Accept shows the compete contempt they have for the user.
Also that idiotic “let’s finish setting up your computer”, as if Microsoft is your friend helping you out.
Guys you need to stop using this software. Why do you think so many fan boys are yelling about linux all the time? Because it’s fantastic these days.
