In my experience, I use Windows 11 pro and don’t get any stupid pop ups like that besides when I need to update the OS or update other programs I installed myself. Maybe it’s different on the other versions? I dunno… but it’s never been that big of a deal for me. I disable a lot of shit on it so it doesn’t do that to be fair.

    People usually have different tolerance level for pop-ups and distractions based on their neurobiology.

    I have heard autistic people say pop-ups hurt and overstimulate them, ADHD people say they can't ignore pop-ups, while neurotypocal people say they don't even notice the pop-ups.

    So both experiences can be true at once. You have no issues with pop-ups, while for someone else physically can't tolerate a single distraction without stressing them out.

    Never used a windows version that wasn't "pro". It was even win10, not 11 as I refused to upgrade (and the reason for this post/thread). It wasn't that constant, but annoying enough (despite numerous debloat sessions) that staying on Windows stopped beeing an option. I'm on Win11 pro at work, and it's still a frequent enough fight to get rid of all the shit.
