I got the update this morning and apparently it is a big deal. So update as soon as possible just to be safe.

This is what "decisions, not options" just does. Windows should have been a simple kernel with a fuckton of add-ons, instead of various superfluous components always running and "deeply integrated" with the OS for no good reason.

Printer Spooler shouldn't even exist until specifically loaded, but it's always there, just waiting, with open ports all over the place.

My Windows 11 leaked image didn't get any updates.

Wonder if the legit release did.

Windows has a terrible "I need it!" problem.

Try getting the "Miracast Banner Experience" to actually stay away. Just try it. Much like anything else, there's some sort of 'warden' service that "helpfully" turns it back on; updates that "helpfully" recreate the folder if it's been renamed, deleted, or even write-protected; and registry keys that constantly change and move around.

Apple = degenerates copying an actually talented person's work but in a tacky way that appeals to the lowest common denominator?
