    Death by 1000 cuts. This may seem like a reasonable change but there are situations where people don’t want software updated - and those can be reasonable. There are also sitatuons where bad updates break software or companies like Microsoft replace software with a “new” but shit version, and not updating can be a way to opt out.

    There are many reasons to leave Windows, and this is another small one to add to the mountain.

    The problem with Microsoft is they always try to cater to the absolute lowest denominator when it comes to users, I understand why they do it, because there are indeed some people that shouldn’t look at a computer even with a binocular, but I don’t agree with their approach nonetheless.

    Being treated like a moron by an OS infuriates me and that’s why I switched to Linux many years ago.

    People use apps from the MS Store?! I honestly had no idea. It’s been such a broken mess from the git go that I gave up years ago.
