Aaand … it’s ads. What a surprise.

Lojcs ,

That’s not an ad

There’s no apparent way to disable the Microsoft 365 account manager in the Start menu, and there’s no option to deactivate the constant nagging to upgrade to a paid Microsoft 365 subscription.

Sounds like an ad to me.

It’s a button to manage your Microsoft account that you signed into windows with. It’s not shocking that it has an option to upgrade said account

I haven’t signed in with the Microsoft account in the first place.

Microsoft 365 is fucking garbage. I tried using it one time on my work computer and couldn’t even export an Excel sheet into any other format besides a PDF and an Excel file. The only two things I never need to export an Excel sheet as. I couldn’t even export it as a god damn text file. And the fact that I need an Internet connection makes it so much more finicky. I guess on the plus side when the Internet is down I don’t have to do my job until it comes back.

Were you on a free plan? Because csv export normally works fine.

Don’t get me started on OneDrive

I’m running Windows 10 LTSC with a custom start menu (StartIsBack). So far I have avoided all of Microsoft’s nonsense.

As long as I’m not ready to switch to Linux 100%, this is probably the best possible solution.

So far I’ve managed to avoid most this kind of crap with minor tweaking, but with end of life coming soon I’ve been meaning to make the switch for ages, but there are always more urgent priorities… If you don’t mind me asking, and if you know - is it still possible to switch from win10 to win10 LTSC, and if so, what does it entail (do I need a fresh install, or can I just upgrade?)?

I also like the LTSC version for my workstation, less nonsense.

I went 10 years ago to Linux. To avoid all Windows non sense..
