Time for the working class to Take control of the Microsoft corporation. For real windows is just spying on you fam switch to Linux.
Stuff like this is why my Windows has been downgraded to a virtual machine.
What's the best Win10 VM?
I just put it in Virtualbox. I only use it for Zbrush and Supermemo. Games I run with Proton instead.
Doing a GPU passthrough or a single GPU passthrough if you have the hardware to do so. VM obfuscation is also handy but can still be risky for kernel-level anti-cheat games, so I don't recommend doing so to avoid anti-cheat. I like using QEMU and libvirt with virt-manager.
That's why I don't use Windows, even in a dualboot setup. If a game doesn't run in proton, U can live without it.
My hobby is sim racing, a lot of my peripherals aren't implemented in Linux, not to mention the anticheat issues. So that one machine is dedicated to only that, otherwise Linux FTW!
This is the type of shit that made me delete windows entirely even though I was content dual booting. Guess they're intent on making it worse.
My windows and Linux each have their own drive and I change boot order in the bios so they each have their own efi. I've had windows bork it too many times and I got tired of it.
Only reason I still keep windows currently is for fallout London and 76
I'm fairly certain a Windows update does this kind of thing every 6 months. I know because I have to remake my uefi entries when they disappear every time.
