Microsoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these apps

So, wait, Mocrosoft is finally giving us a way to fully-disable automatic Windows Updates?

This stops Windows 11 from blocking the installation and lets you get the app back onto your PC. We're not sure if Microsoft has fixed this trick, but it's worth a shot if you want to keep using your favorite apps.

That's mildly distopian.

This prevents your car from shutting itself off when trying visit certain areas on the map. We're not sure if car manufacturers have fixed this trick, but it's worth a shot if you want to keep going to your favorite places.

And only a little tiny bit adversarial.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just keep using Windows 10 forever, and get security updates for free?

I was already dubious about upgrading from 10 to 11 and this is final straw. I will have to look at Linux options and see if my Windows-only programs will run effectively under WINE.

Glad they have time to call out everyone else’s problems, yet Microsoft still can’t fix their broken jan win 10 update.

Install Linux and be done with this nonsense

Imagine not being able to upgrade your Linux because you have modified YOUR system to suit YOUR needs. Fuck them...

Wow, imagine using a corporate owned operating system.

Laughs in Ubuntu

Why?

I feel bad for Windows users, they just can't catch a break can they?

What apps and links please? Just so I know what not to download.

Excuse me what

Well, I have two of those. I guess I'll just go fuck myself than, huh?

Havent updated my v10 for 3+ years and dont plan to

WUMT was good to me.

Can't you disable SmartSense or whatever bullshit there is that scans apps programs when they're installed?

I do have 3 of it 😁

Why are people still using Windows? Seems to me that the pain to use it is still not big enough. I welcome every move that increases the pain and drives people to better options.
