I think “lazy” might be the wrong word to use here. “Lazy” is when you don’t feel like doing laundry.
Frustrated is a better description, I think.
Frustrated by an entitled company which packages invasive data collection into a product with a 70% market share of laptops and desktops.
Frustrated that manufacturers of these products don’t provide Linux options out of the box.
Frustrated that a person can’t just buy a USB stick loaded with Linux and install it.
Frustrated that they have to worry about bricking their laptop if they fuck it up.
Frustrated that streaming video stuttered and there didn’t seem to be any way to troubleshoot it.
At least, this describes my experience getting fed up with Windows and putting Ubuntu on my laptop. It was touch and go for a minute. A week actually. Pure frustration.
Now that it’s up and running, though, I fucking love it. But getting there was quite a bit of hassle, ngl.
You don’t even have to do that, you can just go to Settings.
Some users are reporting that a new banner is appearing at the top of the Edge browser that says the app “now launches when you sign into Windows, so it’s ready when you want to browse. Change this anytime in Settings.”
Windows Central can confirm that as of the latest Microsoft Edge Beta build, this banner does appear at the top of the interface, and unless you select the “No thanks” button, the browser will automatically appear every time you start up your PC. The good news is that you can disable this, but the bad news is it appears to be opt-out rather than opt-in.
Of course you can. Along with all the other annoyances Microsoft has added before, all the ones they will add in the future, and those you turned off, but they’ll turn back on automatically.
Here’s a pro tip: keep a text file of all the things you have to turn off again later. Separated into the following categories: turns back on every update, turns back on every startup, turns back on when starting a specific app, turns back on randomly, and can’t be turned off anymore (for the future). Then make scripts to automate the process.
cant you just go into task manager and disable run on startup?
i’m sure there’ll be some way to turn if off but even if it’s that simple most people would be too inexperienced or lazy to do it
Also fewer and fewer people even know how to change the settings on their stuff.
This isn’t usually a skill issue, it’s a knowledge issue, fixed by RTFM. Or Google.
