Microsoft has enabled Start menu ads in the optional KB5036980 preview cumulative update for Windows 11 22H2 and 23H2.
Block KB5036980 in windows update, got it.
I think I misunderstood, I blocked * . * And I’ve never been happier
Yada yada, install Linux, etc.
No, no - it’s German for “The Windows! The!”
I’m on the insider build and haven’t seen any of this. If I do then I’m off. That’s a red line as far as I’m concerned.
I’ll load up EndeavourOS (it’s already on my laptop) and they can shove it. Pity as it was genuinely getting good. So many things that worked seamlessly and effortlessly compared to some of the Linux stuff.
But I’ll not have ads in my OS.
One time a company I worked for sent an hr message out telling people not to look at stock prices on work time. And yet, all the windows build servers displayed stock ticker information in the bottom left.
Anyways fuck microsoft as usual. I hope it’s just as busted as the news ads in the stupid weather menu thing.
