Getting "professional" versions and installing them has generally been the way to work around Windows bullshit. I haven't gone to 11 yet, and the vibe I get from folks is that there is no escaping it. But folks have been saying that about Windows forever.

    I have used professional versions of 10 through work, and they are better, but they still have a bunch of junk. I hear that Windows 11 is worse in this regard. It also still doesn't fix the problem of encouraging MS to do these things. I'm not looking to build a PC, so I'd be buying something that comes preloaded with a consumer version, then need to buy a pro version, and now I've bought this crap twice, greatly rewarding MS for their poor practices.
