Where/when does this popup come up? Is it in your browser, is it a Windows notification?

The most recent time I think I saw this was the latest Windows 11 update, but you can just click No and it goes away. Microsoft is being annoying persistent about getting people to use Bing now because of ChatGPT and Edge though. Hopefully there is a limit, if not the annoying Linux recommendations might actually start to have some merit.

I forget the name of it, but I remember there is (or at least used to be) a tool that would give you more granular control over the stuff that's under the hood of Windows.

If you search for "Windows God mode tool" or something along those lines, your should be able to find it.

Not sure if this will get rid of your pop-up modal specifically, but it might allow you to mess with other configurations that can prevent these sorts of things.

Use Edge and Bing but then you'll get Chrome and Google popups. You can't win.

Can we make a windows tech support community? I'm really sick of people barging in and asking to fix their anti-consumer spyware OS.
