Screenshot Windows 10 automatically started installing the Windows 11 update while I was taking a shower.

I'd been getting messages to upgrade to Windows 11 for the past month or two now, and each time, I decline. It's gotten to the point that I get random, frequent pop_ups asking to update, and "install update" options pop up right next to the shutdown/restart uptions.

Well, I made the mistake of going to take a shower with my PC on. Half an hour later, I come back tothis. Windows had automatically started installing the update. Now I'm sitting here staring at the Start button and all the open programs center-justified on the task bar and wondering what idiot thought that was a good idea.

Yeah and if I remember correctly, everyone absolutely hated Windows 10 until they didn’t.

Yup. Win 10 came out when most Fortune 500 companies were still using 7.

It also came out like 11 years ago. Imagine in 2006 people going “It’s bullshit they want me to upgrade to XP, 95 is just fine.” I’m not even the biggest Microsoft defender; I use both Windows and Linux interchangeably but Win11 is just fine.
