That full screen force-install for Windows 11 is NOT just new for May... I have been getting the same screens for at least 6 months, and every time MS does its 2nd Tuesday of the month forced Windows updates installs and reboot, whether you want it or not (that really pisses me off - amount of times I had some work running overnight on a long job and came back in morning to find PC sitting there at a rebooted windows for 7+ hours doing nothing all night at 300W idle power usage, when I am paying almost 50c/kWh for electricity)
Yeah that "I have nothing to hide" response is stupid. Do you have a house, and do you close your curtains every night when it gets dark? Why do you do this if you have nothing to hide?
It reminds me of this quote... and you should think about this before you sell your life and everything about you to any US corporation who make money selling that information to the US government spy and other agencies. And since most of us are NOT living in USA we don't actually want US agencies knowing everything about us - it's none of their fucking business!
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

p.s. I'm not saying Windows 10 doesn't also spy to some degree or not, but Windows 11 user agreement explicitly says you agree to this as part of accepting it for free. So they are not entirely legally allowed to do it in Win10 but for Win11 there are legally allowed since user agreed to it.

If W11 is so pushy, vile, obnoxious and hated.
Change the OS, change your computing.
How much time will try to convince yourselves that Microsoft or other Bigtech gives a rat's ass on user opinion or needs?

Probably yes... but I seem to remember needing to turn it on for something a while ago.
But how did you know what motherboard I use??

Only because you cannot (officially) run Win11 does not mean your rig will be e-waste if Win10 is EOL or EOS. You could install Linux or a hypervisor on it and use the rig otherwise.

The "spy tech" you guys speak of got backported to Win7 years ago while Win10 was the most current OS. I would bet the "good things" from Win11 got backported as well already, at least to Win10. Why maintain different telemetry platforms when you can have a single (big) one? Manpower is expensive.
