Can we make a windows tech support community? I'm really sick of people barging in and asking to fix their anti-consumer spyware OS.

idk what this is i've never encountered it, but if it's a web page u can just block it with ublock

[–] Morphit@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

It's not. It's a Microsoft signed executable that gets dumped in the temp directory and run. I was pretty angry when it popped up (not least because Windows had just bluescreened while trying to resume from hibernation - hibernation because modern sleep is shit). Rather then hunt down exactly how Microsoft got it onto "my" system, I just killed it and got on with my day.

It's a work laptop but I'm sorely tempted to drop NixOS on it anyway.

Install Linux, or just find a debloat script or something

Have you tried switching your default search engine to Microsoft Bing in Chrome?

This comment section is why I have linux communities blocked. Seethe.

Ok , first switch to Linux. Wait wait here me out :) Do a dual boot system and switch in between until your ready to move. Your windows install should be windows ameliorated , i.e windows AME. This removes everything from Windows , included updates. Can't use latest office and unsure about gaming issues. I got it since I had one corp software I was forced to use.
Only way to actually stop windows shit.
