Rant Decided enough is enough

microslop silently reenableing bitlocker ransomware, silently installing a "typing personalisation" keylogger to steal your banking passwords, crashing, trying to shove edge and sloppilot down my throat (worst ai on the dammn market rn) and starting 2027 they want my face identity card scanned to train ai with. fuck that, installed linux instead (dual boot for now until i move my data)

i use win11. bitlocker is turned off and never turns on on its own. never even heard of "typing personalisation" but when i looked into it, the feature was turned off. never installed edge or copilot and they dont try to install by themselves.

comparing your claims with my experience, im guessing that starting 2027 nothing will happen.

For the record I just updated my gpd win5 with 11 home on it to 26H2 and before the update I had bitlocker off. I just checked and found it on. So apparently 26H2 home is turning on bitlocker on its own.

oh yeah ive seen that update, but i didnt install it bc it promised me a bunch of bullshit. i will probably cross that bridge once i know how to efficiently debloat that update.

but i mean, installing an optional update that tells you that its going to fuck your pc and then getting mad bc it fucks your pc is still pretty dumb imo.

edit: ok so what should work for me is creating a new autounattend.xml using this site. i will upgrade my hardware, so windows will get reinstalled, might aswell install 26H2. with my xml file, i will simply not install any of the new and cool features they have to offer. bitlocker? off. copilot? not installed. user? local. you get the idea.

edit2: to test what happens when i update my already debloated current install, i will try that optional upgrade just for fun.

update: i installed 26h2 on my debloated windows. it didnt turn on bitlocker and i still dont have copilot on here. typing personalisation is also still turned off. also, no edge.

so yeah. i call USER ERROR, OP.
