      Buy an OEM key next time, I’ve never spent more than 20 bucks for Pro.

    At this point I’ve just abandoned the start menu all together. PowerToys Run has effectively become how I launch anything that isn’t on the taskbar, tied to one of the buttons on my mouse or a keyboard shortcut. Everything search on a different shortcut replaces the built-in search.

    Of course that’s just how I cope on my mandatory-Windows 11 work laptop. At home (and I know this is almost a meme at this point), I’m slowly getting myself accustomed to Linux alongside Windows 10 until that’s no longer feasible.

    Meh, I don’t care, I’d much rather have startallback than updates as it’s the only thing that makes that windows box usable.

    This isn’t normal Windows Updates. These are warnings for OS upgrades as Windows Insiders upgrade to new preview builds of the OS.
