My mother in law drove 20km to get me to fix one of these full screen problems on her laptop (something to do with logging in with an email account). Only with her example, there was no "Skip for now option", and she thought she had been locked out of her account.
I just hit ctrl+alt+del and manually closed the program. She was already logged in. I don't understand what happened, but yeah, it was weird.
Windows is increasingly incorporating these web-style nudges every day. If you open the Start menu, you get animated ads; if you search in it you get popups pushing you to join Microsoft rewards [1]. What a distressing shift.
The ads and websearch in the windows menu are infuriating. I disable them ASAP. Although it doesn’t show ads, it’s also extremely annoying to paste a path to the file explorer and have it pop up a webpage if the path was wrong. There is not a single time on earth when that would be my desired result.
Except you don't have to. I don't know what I did, I'm not running any third party software, but my start menu does not have any tiles. It's just a list of apps installed on my system
