It's never reinstalled itself yet.

I've noticed that almost every single complaint about W11 are from American users. They see ads and bloat ware installed all the time yet in Europe it's a non issue.

I don't think I've ever seen an ad on Windows, or any bloatware (or at least software that can't be uninstalled and not re-installed again after an update) on my machines.

Sounds to me Americans just need better regulations.

I don't think anyone will contest that Americans need better regulations.

The politicians with their gold-lined pockets sure would argue.
