Luckily I use my phone for most tasks and can avoid my two remaining windows machines unless necessary.
Also I doubt it's just me but every other day when Windows forces an update "restart and update/shutdown and update", upon restarting I am again prompted by Microsofts dark patterns for all the telemetry, defaulted to ON (location, biometrics, etc).
Literally every second update windows wants to re ask me and I have to either select "skip for 3 days" (comical) or walk through each step and toggle each one off...
Unfortunately Microsoft no longer innovates and can only continue to try to data mine but they are fighting a losing battle.
At this point revenge may be best to just use a cracked windows install on a VM using a dummy email. You want telemetry, have at it ;)
The grass isn't greener. With the amount of advertising, tracking, and upselling on iOS and Android, our smartphones are significantly worse than Windows 11.
