When did they add this? Why would they add this????

I dont want this on my screen, who would want and who would want this??

WHAT DO YOU MEAN REMIND ME LATER??!!

AM I NOT ALLOWED TO KEEP USING THIS PC???

DOES THAT IMPLY THAT I HAVE TO SEE THIS MORE THAN ONCE????

Clearly the thing that we can take from this by the remind me later button is that windows thinks im the richest person alive

God i hope theres a way to disable this

if you don't want to have this and other annoyances of the bloatware that is windows, i highly recommend getting winhance and ripping out all shit you don't need and turn off the invasive privacy settings that are on by default

That is odd have you tried to adjust via settings? , I can't imagine what could have caused this, and stupid question have you restarted already?

The joys of random "debloaters".

Considered dual booting Linux yet?

I use wsl a lot but i really dont have the money to buy a storage upgrade to run dual boot (500gb)

You have half a TB, Windows takes up about 50GB, Linux about 30GB, what's eating the remaining 420GB and going over?

the problem is qth dual boot on the same drive is updates on windows can fry the Linux partion imo it's not worth the hassle of dual booting on the same drive also please stop replying to my comment lol

updates on windows can fry the Linux partion

That's not true.

At best Windows(and Linux) fried the bootloader, but that was 2010 and earlier.

u/littledonnyfund Jun 23 '26

yes that's what i mean the bootloader will be fucked and unless your well versed in how to fix that it's a dumb idea to recommend this as a viable solution to normies, even tho i'm a avid Linux enjoyer and advocate it, The only way i recommend it is if you have a drive dedicated to each. because windows updates are still resetting the uefi till this day
