Windows 11 repeatedly promoting Edge, Onedrive and Phone link annoyed me. There must be a "Don't remind me again." checkbox.

Firefox has been reliable. Brave seems 👍. I haven't wanted Edge as my main.

I already have a Onedrive account. It was reliable. I haven't needed the Onedrive system tray icon. I just went to onedrive.com. On the other hand, I've had the Dropbox system tray icon.

I haven't wanted to use Phone link.

There are LTSC versions of Windows 10 and 11 which aren't constantly getting feature updates and have much less unnecessary crap built in. They're also supported for much longer. I've been using this version of 10 for ages and haven't had half of the issues most people complain about.

A tool like O&O Shutup also helps cut down on BS.

I think even 11 pro is quieter on bs

Great recs honestly.

I try.

Not everyone can use Linux, so I try to offer what might work for those who have no other option than Windows.

You can uninstall OneDrive through the apps list in settings, and that should revert your Documents folders to be locally stored. I haven't noticed the other two prompting reminders recently on my Windows PC and can't recommend a way to disable them.

Windows 11 didn't enable Onedrive in my Documents, Pictures and others. I've used local storage since I bought my 💻. I hope Windows 11 won't suddenly enable Onedrive. Folks will riot if they'll do such a 💩 act.

LETS FINISH SETTING UP YOUR PC

[OK] [Remind me in 3 days]

But no [Fuck off forever] button.

When I have the time I'll be defenestrating that os

There's an option to stop it. I don't remember where.
