I love that Microsoft has Microsoft developed applications on its update/upgrade block list.

It's a good reminder that companies arent as cohesive as most people think especially when they are as large as Microsoft.

I remember having to reverse engineer an API owned by my own company because our team was too far removed from theirs. The whole situation was crazy

Maaaan, I can't even get communication with my shipping department about whether or not they shipped it trashed film rolls that are on hold.

Is any of those free, small and not invasive so I can install it just to prevent an update to Winshit 11?

The iCloud thing is free. I think it adds a system tray application but I don’t think it does anything if you don’t log in with an Apple account.

The Realtek Wireless driver should also do nothing if you don’t have the device.

I use AtlasOS tweaks with Windows 10 and my system never suggests an upgrade to Windows 11 although updates and MS Store works fine. AtlasOS is the thing that make Windows at least usable.

They're blocking the fucking GPU SOFTWARE? WHAT THE FUUCK?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

What, the generic Windows driver wasn't good enough...?

ExplorerPatcher wouldn't be necessary if they actually stopped removing basic features from Explorer that have existed for over a decade

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm still on Win 10. What does ExplorerPatcher do?

For me personally, I like having my taskbar at the top of the screen. MS removed the ability to change the position of the taskbar in W11. It does a lot more than that, potentially giving you an almost XP like experience if that's what you want.
