New Windows fuckery: I've set up Windows Update to only get minor and security updates. Until recently it was fine. But now "Windows 11 version 24H2" is available and it really wants to be installed on my computer. Including adding an update icon in the taskbar with a notification badge which I can only "Hide for now". The icon is disabled in the regular settings, and it looks like my last resort is to fiddle with the Windows Registry. Again.

Fuck you Microsoft!

Did you install as offline version?

@minfu It was pre-installed on the laptop, and I used the trick not to have to use an online account to activate Windows. Also I do want Windows Defender updates, it’s the one thing that’s actually good in Windows. 🥲

@A Sweet Gentleman A decade ago I was fine with Windows, the Windows Millenium mishap was forgotten if not forgiven, but the headlong rush into AI and the sad sack that Windows 11 is has brought my contempt for Microsoft to new heights.
