It might well say "Ok" or "Understood" or loving "Let's go" in one of the others or something like that. I wish I made a screenshot. Should just use this emote instead of saying "Let's go."  In other news I had copilot just show up, seemingly unbidden, on the side of my display this morning. It's possible I hit a key combination by accident that activated it, but it's persisting even after disabling copilot in GPO.  Love how "Just kidding. You're great!" is a suggested response.

hooah posted:I feel like I'm a regular Windows user, and it's... fine? Sure, maybe there are some minor things I'd change, but nothing is driving me away from the OS. Windows has a thousand minor annoyances that I think most people learn to just deal with, work around, or accept as how things have to work. It’s a serviceable OS and it’s what most software runs on, so if the minor annoyances don’t add up to being a huge issue for someone then it’s fine. Accidentally activating copilot and finding out that I can’t disable it even on a Pro license was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me, personally, though. I’m in the process of converting to a Mac Mini as my main general use system and relegating my PC to only gaming and file hosting.

Short of excising it via the registry, you can only disable copilot via a gpo, and according to a couple friends who manage enterprise deployments, it turns out that gpos are only supported on Enterprise and Education editions of Windows 11 as of 23H2. Windows 11 Home and Pro apparently just loving ignore gpo settings now. It's possible I've missed something or configured something wrong, but I cannot disable copilot without doing registry edits.

down1nit posted:You absolutely can disable Co-Pilot just ask it how. If you want something gone in windows, there's at least a hundred youtube videos about removing it. This is windows ffs, not macos. When I asked it how to uninstall it, it just pointed me to the add/remove programs settings window, where there wasn't an option. I've gotten it disabled now, and sorry that my post came off like some troll r/walkaway poo poo. It really was just the final annoyance I had to deal with that made me finally go back to using macOS as my primary computer environment. It's not like Microsoft added it and that was the only thing that's ever bothered me. Death by a thousands cuts or whatever.

I got my information from an enterprise IT admin, and her statement was, and I quote, quote:all the GPOs only work with enterprise SKUs now She might be wrong, but has generally proven knowledgeable enough that I took her at her word.

Blattdorf posted:That's the vision of the future. That's what the customers truly want! Microsoft is slowly becoming the prime example of what happens if you insist on reinventing the wheel, even though what you're selling is, essentially, a desk. The desk has been solved. Stop. Just stop. If they sold a version of Windows that was basically just Windows 2000 Professional UI, with the current Windows libraries and whatnot so modern programs launch, but with the AI/telemetric poo poo turned off, even at a premium over regular Windows, they would probably sell more licenses than they'd think they would.

By the time Microsoft is finished rolling the remaining things into the Settings app they will have moved on to their next UI paradigm and it'll just start all over.

mobby_6kl posted:The Win8 UI made sense for touch devices. Unfortunately they went all-in with no thought for everything else, so like the first thing I saw after installing W8 on my desktop PC was a full-screen calculator app lol. I think Microsoft believed everything was going to shift to touch-screen only/death of the desktop. So they stupidly went all in only for the market to push back way more than anticipated, which then resulted in 8.1.

Dick Trauma posted:I had to move one of our employees to a different cubicle and I told him that I'd be leaving his LCDs behind in favor of new ones that were already in the new cubicle. I thought he was messing with me when he asked if that meant that he would lose any files, and I laughed it off and then he got annoyed because he was serious. I explained that none of his files were stored in the LCDs and he wouldn't lose anything but he started getting huffy so I just moved them along with the rest of his stuff. How the gently caress?

CaptainSarcastic posted:They're trying to get people to switch their default search engine in Chrome to Bing, and I believe installing that plug-in will do so. When Chrome warns you a plug-in is trying to change your search engine, Windows will pop up another Window telling you definitely should allow it. That article led me to this one https://9to5google.com/2024/01/30/microsoft-edge-chrome-data-update-windows/ and surely at some point Microsoft is going to get in legal trouble for stuff like this. Right? RIGHT?
