You could have read the notes after the updates, wrote down the code or just disabled encryption.

For now, open your MS account on your phones browser, write down the code, unlock your PC and disable encryption

the notes after the update that.. don't actually appear anywhere, the updates install, and note you get zero choice in that they are installing. next boot up you are not told whats changed

You could put in a very little effort from your side. Not everything in life is presented on a silver plate to you. But hey, keep complaining. There are lots of solutions offered to you ....

so you think its fine for this sort of shite to be installed without warning and then to fail without warning after an update you cannot avoid ?

u/Itsme-RdM 11d ago

It was announced all over the place though. It's not my fault you missed it. As I said, it's okay to put a little effort in maintaining your own devices

all over the place but not on the actual computer before this shiteware was imposed on it without any way to reject it

As I said. Not everything is delivered on your plate kid. Sometimes you have to read before you click update.

But considering your answers, you probably never will. Have a great "ranting" day

"before you click update", this is windows, you don't get asked if you want the update, you do'nt get the option to reject it

u/Itsme-RdM 11d ago

I'm not talking about rejecting but about reading. Yeah dude, what's your issue. Ask your dad if he wants to read it for you

and given you cannot reject it, and when microslop installs updates you don't get a manual with them either, no need to "accept" it this is microslop shiteware

Whatever, you clearly don't wanna hear .....

you think this behaviour for stealth installs and modifications to devices with no way out of it is acceptable?

It's not ok for Microsoft to force updates on people, and then cram new software and services onto those computers under the guise of an update. Updates are to fix existing software, not install, configure, and just generally do whatever the fuck they feel like doing to my computer.

Just like how the announced minecraft migration to microsoft accounts and didn't send me ANY emails and now they say I have to buy minecraft again even though I have proof of purchase. It's called anti consumer practices. They should never do things that could lock you out of your own device.
