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.

Use Linux
“Use Linux” isn’t always an option
Ecactly , even though my work can be done better on a linux pc ( I am a dev) , my office has provided me with windows , since they have some group admin policy and shiz !
if you have group admin policies, then you won’t see such setup in the first place.
Never said I do ! I just said my work is easier on linux , for reasons of easy setups and builds etc !
Use Linux over VirtualBox?
May or may not be an option. Virtualization doesn’t play nicely with all software and hardware requirements, and may violate IT policies regarding device management (which may in turn be beholden to compliance / HR policies, etc)
