They always give you a scare since it looks like Windows is booting into a recovery environment. Just had one, and the only options I had were “Remind me in 3 days” and “Continue”.
It’s always about Microsoft wanting you to set Edge as your default browser as well as trying to get you to log in on a Microsoft account and you have to individually decline every suggestion since you can’t just skip the fucking thing.
Piss off, Microsoft
Since Windows 8 was released over 10 years ago, there’s a repeated pattern where em-dollar sign introduces a bunch of bullshit that nobody fucking wants and a bunch of plucky Windows power usersTM design third-party tools to either get around or attempt to get rid of the bullshit that em-dollar sign wants to push. We can see this in Windows 8 when em-dollar sign got rid of the start menu and some Russian dude came up with classic shell (well technically he came up with it before Windows 8 was released, but the general point still stands). Em-dollar sign would eventually put back the start menu (with an inferior design with what they had in 2000, XP, Vista, or 7), but I haven’t seen anything else where em-dollar sign faced enough backlash to get rid of some bullshit nobody asked for. This is a cat-and-mouse game where em-dollar sign will constantly enshittify their already shitty OS even more while those plucky Windows power usersTM expend more and more effort to essentially polish a turd.
All these debloater Powershell scripts, registry edits, third-party tools, Windows update stoppers are just workarounds. We all know what the actual solution is.
