So right clicking a .7z file gives me the option to open with 7zip File Manager (since it's the default program), but the quick select options that 7zip adds to the menu to let you quickly zip and unzip files isn't there. I assume they don't want programs to be able to add anything they like in there, or it's just broken, but I feel like it's probably the former. Between this and the general reduction in customization especially wrt Start, it’s starting to feel like the tagline should be something like: Windows 11: The OS with less. No way I’m upgrading till I can put the task bar on the side and it’s possible to have third-party entries in the task menu without hacking the registry or something.

So, uh, huh. Just saw this pop up on my loving desktop today. Is there a registry key or GPE setting to disable this Microsoft-sanctioned malware? (I'm actually still on Win10 Pro, but that thread is closed; I assume the registry key and GPE settings would be the same on Win11, though.) Looking around online seems to show that (i) yes, Microsoft has admitted this is them, and (ii) people are (rightly) pissed about it, but I haven't actually found anything that says how it could be disabled. (I'm assuming just clicking "No, thanks" won't actually prevent it from popping up again whenever it feels like it, despite Microsoft’s assurances that it’s “one-time only.”) Jigsaw fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Mar 20, 2024 |

Man, if I didn’t need Windows stuff for my job (which I use my own computer for), I’d hardcore consider a switch to Ubuntu or something over this. I mean, I’m still considering it, but I don’t think it’s reasonably in the cards. I can’t imagine this is ever going to get better (except possibly temporarily, and only following legal action).
