I've previously tried various remedies for this thorn in the side of my PC experience, but Microsoft has patched and updated Windows often enough that they've all stopped working. I eventually gave up and resolved to leave the Start menu hobbled by Microsoft's over-eager branding, even though I'd much rather use the tools I chose for myself (Vivaldi as my browser and DuckDuckGo as my search engine).
Such things are sent to try us. By Microsoft, specifically. Which shouldn't be poking its nose into how individual users want to use the operating systems we've paid for. I'm not bitter, no, why do you ask?
But a recent Windows laptop purchase—this one, in fact, yes, sometimes we jump on our own deal posts, too!—bro
