Only in Europe. For the rest of us, they will make sure to leave in all the enshittification that Makes Windows Worse Again.
I wonder if you could VPN into the EU and run windows update to get rid of the shit and if it would come back once you closed the connection.
That's the first thing I thought of too. How awesome would that be to be able to uninstall all that garbage?
That being said, there has to be registry values that are set to flag it in the OS. Friends in the EU need to make a backup of the registry before updating and then check afterwards to see what changed.
Dude excellent idea. Regshot before and after. It could be something as simple as a user running a registry editing script.
The country is chosen while installing Windows. Currently, if you use Windows International, you already lose a bunch of bloatware
Pretty sure you can just change your regional settings, I always install selecting English UK and I've never seen most of the shit people post on Lemmy.
