Stuff like this is why I disabled the TPM on my computer. No TPM means that you're "not eligible" for 11, meaning I don't get nagged by the random full screen pop-ups.

I updated my bios at some point and it turned on the TPM again, be careful! When I got an update window and quite the shock, I added a group policy to block the update as a backup.

Disabling secure key storage is a weird hill to die on but ok

10 is the last version of Windows I'll be using, and I don't want to have more full screen ads for 11 pop up on top of whatever program I'm trying to use. The previous time it happened is what prompted me to do it in the first place, and I'm definitely not gonna let them force update my Windows version like they've done in the past.
