Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen. Turn off the option for "Get fun facts, tips, and more from Windows and Cortana on your lock screen"

EDIT: If you don't have that option, set your background for Slideshow or Picture, as the default Windows Spotlight setting will force you to see their stupid little tips and other bullshit. It's worth setting it to Picture or Slideshow anyway, as it's one more bit of telemetry that MS won't be getting from you.

It's one of the things we always turn off when prepping new/replacement computers for our employees where I work.

Valid point - I forgot to mention that you need to have it set to Slideshow or Picture to get that option.

If this is happening then we are slowly moving towards north korea, I understand they have this radio that you can not turn off that broadcast propaganda.

We have better propaganda then best korea.

At work I get constant propaganda that you are not allow to question, only cheer. A lot of women in tech crap with a spice of BLM and LGBTPQP+

If I shop online, I get virtue signaling from all places, last year it was mostly BLM and COVID stuff but before it was LGBTPQP+.

Sports and TV are already lost to woke crap.

How long until if you do not watch the propaganda is considered a hate crime?

Most of the women in tech who are actually worth anything think this pandering stuff is cringe. It's put there by virtue signaling management that don't understand how anything works.

Waiting on Windows to fully become an online service that is inaccessible without Internet.

Pretty sure the answer is yes. I forgot how I did it. I don't even get those welcome screens. I just set my background to be permanently fixed. I'd have to look up how I did it. I think I disabled something under group policies somewhere.

Just reminding you who your masters are, and who runs our society.

The Progressive Death Cult requires daily indoctrinations and the removal of all competing ideas and messaging for their indoctrination to be successful.

Switching to Linux is not a joke. It's the only rational course of action, or switching to a BSD.

Got a similar message on Destiny about “trans rights” the sub has an incredibly cringe thread that’s just people parroting slogans, mass downvotes, some people pointing out how that they’re using this to distract from a scandal, others pointing out the lack of gameplay effect, and tons of removed.

Games are essentially the only reason I have not completely switched to Linux. And more and more are running better in it. It’s just a matter of time

I don’t game much anymore but I tried Baldur’s Gate 3 recently and was pleasantly surprised to find it ran perfectly in wine. Vulkan has been a game changer.

I am using windows 10 and I got no such message. Is up to date as well. But I do get some messages regarding the login screen with "you like what you see?"

Have to use it for work. Use Linux and BSD for my home office.

But the difference is that work fills your Outlook inbox with 30 DEI, Allies, and CRT messages a week. But you can write rules that push them to a folder that you can scan and purge later. Just have to make sure none of them are for mandatory "training".

Wow this is real? No joke but I already switched to Linux a long time ago because I didn’t enjoy feeling like I had an appliance instead of a computer. Seems it has only become worse...

I prefer keeping these things on. As nice as it is living in blissful ignorance, I prefer to keep a finger on the pulse of this crazy dumbfuck planet. It's not the propaganda I fear, or the people that seem to not see it for what it is. It's the day the propagandists get a list of the names of people whom their drivel isn't working on.
