Windows 11 is horrendous but so is this article. I've installed Windows 11 on probably 10 machines and I've never seen 'TikTok' preinstalled but assuming that it can be in certain regions it really isn't that difficult to remove the default bloatware apps. As for the rest of the problems this guy mentions, has he ever heard of Group Policy? Even if you're on a version that doesn't have access to GPEdit, what about the Registry?
Windows 11 has a fuckload of problems and is objectively a step or 12 backwards in terms of configurability, but this article doesn't really sell the problems very well IMO.
- josephcsible 4y ago> has he ever heard of Group Policy? Doesn't Group Policy only work in Pro, which costs $100 to upgrade to? Even if you're rich enough to afford that without thinking twice, do you really want to reward Microsoft with more money for their bad behavior?
- Karliss 4y agoIt's a bit worse. While Group policy requires at least the pro version of windows , many of group policy settings for disabling this junk only work in enterprise and educational versions of windows.

- __oh_es 4y agoJust bought an asus machine for work and Ive had the same experience as the author. Gpedit isn’t available on the home edition and you’re plagued with notifications, tabloids, apps that should be mobile apps and I would argue, ironically, have no place in a home. I cant be bothered to upgrade to pro or linux as the machine is just a host for vmware horizons but lets see when the first major update happens.
