I’m not this person, but I installed win11 a month or two after launch and have lived through many many updates.
I’ve never had a single setting switched from what I set it to. Nor have I had AI shoved down my throat. My guess is that since I set it up with a local account originally and have never added a MSFT account, that insulates me from a lot of the issues others have seen.
> even Notepad now has a Copilot button, which is something literally nobody has ever asked for
AI is like crickets - some people like the sound, some ignore the sound, and some are driven crazy by the sound
