    You must switch back to English (US) after installation if you want access to Microsoft Store (and even if you don’t, you probably should because most apps are now there).

    I’ve seen a few tools to suppress most telemetry such as ChrisTitusTech’s winutil or O&O ShutUp, maybe you could give that a try. Microsoft is really pushing hard Bing & Edge…

    Also, as a Linux user, I must obliged to the rules and say there’s alternatives out there if you want to try something new. :-) [email protected]

        Windows Terminal + WSL, everything related to Xbox if you’re using Gamepass or “Play anywhere” titles (Xbox/PC cross-buy).

        Most basics apps are from the Microsoft app store too; calculator, calendar, paint, etc.

        It’s been a hot minute since I’ve used Windows, but you’d be surprise how much apps are now updated through that app store.

        If your device use Windows in S mode, all your apps must come from the store & you must use Edge.

          Ah okay, I didn’t know people used it that way and I don’t do XBox game pass or anything like that. It makes sense. My only real experience with windows store apps has been my work computer trying to install a “personal use” version of Microsoft teams from there and apparently I had to get the professional version through M365 downloads.
