    This bar got worse since the screenshot above.

    Now if you are using FireFox, etc, as a default browser it says Web browsing. Restore, recommended, which is purposefully misleading for many people because it implies that there's something wrong with the setup.

    Other items are just as bad.

    Useless Rewards that I have to sign in for (I'm logged in with a local account).

    It shows how many hours ago it checked for updates. What's the point if it's automatic anyway? Even if paused, those who paused it know what they did and it's temporary anyway.

    OneDrive that keeps nagging to back up files. I must've told it dozens of times that I don't need a cloud backup and it still asks once in a while, and now this thing is right in the middle of the Settings app.

    This "feature" must be written by a junior co-op. How it got through any senior product management is beyond comprehension.

    This header to advertise in settings is the exact reason we need laws making it illegal to advertise and create operating systems. Its a conflict of interest. We also need to take windows away from Microsoft and make it a public property based on the fact that you should not own something everyone depends on so much. This would also apply to Google and Apple operating systems. We should apply it universally to all computer language and operating systems.

    Everyone keeps suggesting tools that require one to bypass security checking while operating in administrator mode. Sorry, won't do that, no matter how clean the suggested code might be.

    Someone at Microsoft needs to make this horror-show banner configurable. I have two systems at 21H1 now, and one has this banner, and one does not. The primary difference is that I goofed and provided a Microsoft account login when I upgraded the one with the banner, but used my local account when upgrading the one without the banner. So, it IS configurable. Microsoft, please expose the values needed to shut it off!

    I'm sure they'll do that right after they remove the auto-truncation of the username that happens when installing using a microsoft account :P (which is still a thing in windows 11 after years of people going ham over it)
