Probably sooner than later. My work laptop was updated to W11 yesterday, and buy did they screw up the group policy. Every time I open a new tab in Edge I get distracted from what I try to do, since I can't disable background image, MSN news and all the other shit. Every time I lock the computer the screen stays on, no way to turn it off. And copilot is just everywhere.

That's on your sysadmin. GPOs should handle all the bullshit. And MS isn't going to deny us GPOs, fucking around in that space is the beginning of the end for corporate Windows.

I know, but since my company pushes the update like this with the help of a big supporting firm, I'd wager that it's done like this at a lot of other firms too.
