Please no. I didn't upgrade to Windows 11 on purpose. I'm just trying to hold out as long as I can until I'm forced to switch to Linux. I don't want to have to deal with more enshittification in the meantime.

Just turn off windows update. Security people are catastrophizing to justify their jobs, ignore their siren call.

I turn off UAC and defender too, those are basically spyware anyway. Even minimally competent should have no problem by just not downloading viruses and staying behind NAT.
