Scumbag design: cave in now or get pestered again in a few days

This is a thing that annoys me and it's not just Microsoft doing this: there's never a "No" button, it's always "Not now" or "Maybe later". As if i'm going to reconsider. As if it's an honest offer worth thinking about and not a pop-up.

Can't wait to graduate so I don't have to run Respondus and keep dealing with this crap

Well, I've got some bad news depending on what industry you're going into: the business world runs on Windows.

At this point the EU should just set a timer for complaining that Microsoft uses Windows' large market share to force services on their users. I do like efficient governments.

How about Roku's "Consent or we brick your TV?"

Linux, bro.

Linux.

Meanwhile I've been trying to turn off all the news, bing smart AI, and BS popups in windows 11 on the computers where we clock in for weeks. No such luck.

Get WinAero Tweaker. It's a tool that applies dozens of registry and group policy settings to kill stuff like this. I ran it once ages ago and never have had to deal with stuff like your screenshot.

Every time you open anything in office applications you get these small pop-ups

• See what changes others did?
• We added a new feature, do you want to see it?

Graduation unlocks all the white collar career paths, and your inevitable induction to enterprise IT spyware and power tripping local admins.

... Hide all notifications from OneDrive.

That shut up the 'backup' prompt.

Once you graduate, this will be the least of your annoyances.

Wait, are universities still using Respondus?

I feel for you. It was used a lot during the beginning of the pandemic, but I thought it was dropped by now.

Can't wait to graduate so I don't have to run Respondus and keep dealing with this crap.

Install it on ReactOS, lol.

I got a BACK UP WITH ONE DRIVE window yesterday on my Windows 10 PC, but it had an option to remind me again in 1 year...

Probably, because I'm from the EU...

I have to use windows at work, which is the absolute worst place for it. When I'm busy and trying to keep up with getting shit done it makes me really stressed out having get past all these popups, which always seem to happen at the worst possible moment.

It feels like I'm in Takeshi's Castle or something.
