Listen. I do not want fucking ads in the start menu. I have no idea how to code and I can't use the command terminal to save my life but I swear to god I'm going to switch to Linux before I touch Windows 11 with a 10-foot pole

Windows Pro doesn't have these issues, only Home. Home doesn't have group policy, so lots of this can't be managed easily. Pro has GP, which is where all this stuff gets controlled by Enterprise organizations.

Even better, LTSC has even less nonsense and only gets security updates (no feature updates, so nothing odd happening).

Get Win10 LTSC. It gets updates 2x/year, has very minimal bloat.

Then get O&O Shutup to reduce bloat even more.

And you can permanently license it using Microsoft's own scripts.

Scripts on Gituub.

This all applies to Win11 too, if you just have to use it.

Can you get security updates more often than 2x a year doing this method?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Yes you do. I get monthly security updates on mine and I think it is feature that are twice a year.
