I have had windows 11 on my work PC for fourteen days now
Every morning when I boot it up a little pop-up shows up saying "this dumb thing you don't care about needs a computer restart to finish installing properly"
Fourteen times.
It's great. It even comes with a permanent ad pop-up menu

A teak tool will open full of tweaks to give your life back
It's dumb I know, but when they say "restart" they do NOT mean "turn it off and on again"
It's wild to me that default windows is set up to be so user hostile when they are still the primary OS of "office computers"
