Once you graduate, this will be the least of your annoyances.

“Welcome to work. Here is your computer, your free corporate swag, and all the terrible enterprise software that will cripple your productivity.”

“When our overly aggressive security software inevitably locks you out next month, please let us know by filing a ticket at this IT portal. You will not have access to said portal once you’re locked out.”

"If you are remote, please do make sure that you know the phone number of at least one friendly co-worker, because you'll need to interrupt their morning to beg them to scour the corporate intranet to find the last remaining operational phone number to contact the fully remote IT department, because we laid off your one local guy last month."

Your IT department has phone numbers?!

Well, this was a few years ago...

Hide all notifications from OneDrive.

That shut up the 'backup' prompt.

elvith ,

It gets better if you backup and then get the prompt again after the next feature update of windows - because you get asked again and if you click on it will do a second backup which means that now all files are twice in your OneDrive, then three times, then four times, then… a reminder to upgrade OneDrive further as your storage is full.

I had to clean up this less more than once now for people and even witnessed it live after doing the upgrade for them sigh

Button's greyed out in Settings

atrielienz ,

Meanwhile I've been trying to turn off all the news, bing smart AI, and BS popups in windows 11 on the computers where we clock in for weeks. No such luck.

NoFun4You ,

Sounds like a waste of time and effort lol

atrielienz ,

I'm the one who has to deal with these popup every time I login in order to clock in on time. Worth it to me, but perhaps not to everyone.

min_fapper ,

They ship a version of Windows 10 without any of those included.
It's called Windows 10 LTSC (Long Term Support Channel).

Try installing that to never be bothered again.

atrielienz ,

I am not the network/sys admin so I can't but I will pass it along to them. Thank you. What's funny is we use windows ten for our work laptops because of some software and I don't have this problem with those. Just the desktops where we clock in and out and do online training.

IoSapsai ,

My coworker opened edge when they added the new ai bullshit and thought the desktop was infected by a virus and started panicking.

Get WinAero Tweaker. It's a tool that applies dozens of registry and group policy settings to kill stuff like this. I ran it once ages ago and never have had to deal with stuff like your screenshot.

deweydecibel ,

They said they can't wait to graduate, so I'm assuming that means they are using a Windows computer from their school, and depending on what the CIT department's policies are like there, WinAero may not accomplish much

nogooduser ,

If the computer is owned by a company or institution they shouldn’t see this anyway. They should either be using Microsoft work or school accounts or they should be using local accounts and the admin should set the required registry settings for them.

I think that they could be using their own computer but they have to use Windows to be able to use whatever Respondus is.

ooterness ,

That would be nice. Our admins don't bother with anything like this, but they also block me from fixing things.

BehindTheBarrier ,

Every time you open anything in office applications you get these small pop-ups

  • See what changes others did?
  • We added a new feature, do you want to see it?
gorysubparbagel ,

Oh my god those popups for new features drive me insane. Yes teams, I know I can do account switching now because you've told me the last 10 times I opened the app.

mightyfoolish ,

At this point the EU should just set a timer for complaining that Microsoft uses Windows' large market share to force services on their users. I do like efficient governments.

EU has, so Microsoft basically made an EU version

The floggings will continue until morale improves.

Literal malware techniques. MS learned well from all the viruses that infected Windows in the 2000s

Graduation unlocks all the white collar career paths, and your inevitable induction to enterprise IT spyware and power tripping local admins.

And better pay... Hopefully

cooopsspace ,

Better yet, become a power tripping admin.

Literally the only way my Windows PC is usable at work is with admin rights.

lemann ,

The policies at my work are really backwards IMO.

I have full administrative access to our prod hypervisor (including inside the VMs running on it)... but not my own dev machine 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
