That is exactly why you buy cheap keys for your windows install and remove everything you don’t need. Edge got nuked from orbit by me and most annoying ads disappeared with it. I killed all notifications and I am now much happier.

Without Edge, many things don’t work on windows. Also, those cheap license sites have a tendency to sell illegally obtained keys. Once Windows does a key audit, the affected PC can have its key disabled. Although, you strike me as the type of individual that can bypass the key audits. Disabling notifications is one of the first things I do on windows.

Yeah, i disabled basically all telemetry on windows. I also will never upgrade to 11. It sucks donkey balls. Also I haven’t noticed any change in edge being gone. Maybe I just got lucky.

Forgot to say, I got my keys from a system builder who had a shit ton of them but had to get them off the shelves because windows 11 was around the corner. So they are all legally obtained.

What method did you use to shut off telemetry? When I did do on my home computer, the calculator app stopped working. Along with a few more apps I don’t use (phone, i think, people, the Xbox ones, etc)

I have several windows 10 pro keys from laptops I put Linux on. Maybe some day, I’ll use the keys. Unlikely, though.
