Microsoft is now nagging Windows 10 customers to switch to a Microsoft account instead of using a local account.

    Windows 12 being in the cloud may probably not be too crazy. I’m betting most people won’t care and just blindly create a microsoft account.

    If you do not want the Settings app to nag you with Microsoft Account prompts, go to Privacy > General and toggle off the “Show me suggested content in the Settings app” option.

    My Settings panel should not have suggested content

    That’s like offering book recommendations at the BMV

    I am here to do a single task and nothing more. I will not be enjoying my time here.

    What’s next? “Please rate the settings app on the Microsoft store”?

    It’s sad that Microsoft insists on such a dangerous idea in the name of profits.

    I’m sure they fucking will. Can’t harvest your data (as readily) if you aren’t online. Fuckers.

    It’s going to be funny to watch their Pikachu face reaction when this decision chases off a good chunk of their users.
