Hi Emily I love your message!!! I too hate MS' aggressiion and intrusion in so many other ways too! If you are good at computers I'm sure you'll find a replacement like Linux or another one.
I'm stuck as I'm not good at computers so after fighthing (against AI, a machine!) I had to give it up and slowly learn all the changes, and meses, W11 made on my computer. Now it's trying to get me into some kind fo a Vault (ewhatever it is) so as usual I refused but it keep coming back. Grrrrrr to them!!! However, getting furious does nothing except aggravate my heart condition.
Being that I'm forced to resign to using that W11, I'll have to learn how to stop receiving these messages here.
I do hope you find the right replacement so you can work on the computer with some measure of pleasure rather than a constant aggravation. Happy Sunday! :)
