    Windows can go fuck itself, I’m sick of their shit. Teams kept opening links in Edge even though it’s not my default browser. Found out that Teams specifically has a setting to ignore the default browser and use Edge anyway. The fuck is that about?

    Then I wanted to turn off the web search in the Start menu and I had to do a fucking RegEdit! They’re making it more and more complicated to not use their services, where’s the anti-trust regulations when you need them?

      Install Pro or Enterprise, or Tiny10 and then go here and run the Power Shell script: https://massgrave.dev/

      And choose the first option. Takes a minute but then you’ll be fully activated. If you don’t trust the script, download it and check it yourself.

      Then you can use the Group Policy editor to turn a bunch of crap off that Home users aren’t allowed to. I use Winaero Tweaker to edit all these things with a UI. It works even on the Home edition except for the few settings that require the Group Policy.
