I have to use windows at work, which is the absolute worst place for it. When I’m busy and trying to keep up with getting shit done it makes me really stressed out having get past all these popups, which always seem to happen at the worst possible moment.
It feels like I’m in Takeshi’s Castle or something.

It’s alarm fatigue. At some point you don’t know what is important any longer, so you either click on everything or nothing.

Yeah. Someone needs to make a ublock origin zapper for the windows operating system. If I could do something like alt-click any object and make it instantly fuck off out of the computer I could get more work done and be more patient with my customers.
Ultimately my boss is paying microsoft for their bloatware once when he pays for his windows licence and again when I have to bat it away on the clock before I can do my work.

I know it’s not your job, but you can do the following: Disable widgets/news and weather Disable notifications from anything but Microsoft and business-oriented software such as your anti virus Disable notifications from websites Unpin unnecessary items from the start Stop unnecessary items from starting up in task Manager That handles most of it.
I also like to reset the task bar back to the classic look, remove the search bar, Windows store, and task view button.
