This is unfortunately the new state of Windows, and why I also may be switching away after being a dedicated user since Windows 3.1

I doubt I'll go to Mac, I'm just not a fan, so looking at different linux options, even though I barely do any coding anymore.

Windows used to have bloatware and shareware, but I never felt it was in your face like it is now.

But it really is the volume of advertising and crap that has gone into Windows 11 which is why I've stayed on 10 and am avoiding upgrading.
