They always give you a scare since it looks like Windows is booting into a recovery environment. Just had one, and the only options I had were “Remind me in 3 days” and “Continue”.

It’s always about Microsoft wanting you to set Edge as your default browser as well as trying to get you to log in on a Microsoft account and you have to individually decline every suggestion since you can’t just skip the fucking thing.

Piss off, Microsoft

    Just wait until you have another Microsoft exclusive key on your new laptop because Microsoft wants a key for their new Copilot assistant garbage, and knowing Microsoft they will probably get their way because they can just tell OEMs to add it or they won’t let them ship Windows on their laptops. I wonder how much Microsoft can get away with before people start to look for alternatives (Linux).

      For PCs without Copilot enabled, including those that aren’t signed into Microsoft accounts, the Copilot key will open Windows Search instead (though this is sort of redundant, since pressing the Windows key and then typing directly into the Start menu also activates the Search function).

      VERY COOL
