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.

Will digital combat simulator and my IR head tracking work?
I don’t know, but there is a good chance. Try
Apparently DCS works (with lots of problems) through wine, but the trackIR doesn’t work and the HOTAS has issues. DAW works but MIDI also looks like a massive PITA…
I don’t know what HOTAS is but it sounds like something very specific / specialized? Maybe contact the supplier and ask if they have Linux drivers available? A lot of times it’s not that hard to support Linux as a platform.
