      Let me tell exactly what will happen.

      • Step 1 - It’s opt-in. Everyone chill
      • Step 2 - It’s opt-in but the opt-in button is advertised during startup
      • Step 3 - “opting in in crucial for your safety and comfort” advertised everytime during startup
      • Step 4 - it’s opt-out now but it can be turned off in settings
      • Step 5 - it’s opt-out but the off button is hidden below 3 layers
      • Step 6 - the opt-out button is gone but can be turned off with a registry edit
      • Step 7 - sorry, it’s a core component of W11

      We are currently at Step 1

        If you don’t opt in you will miss essential security updates and you will become a terrorist

      I mean even if it is not mandatory but automatically enabled once, odds are %80 of the users won’t even bother turning it off so win for windows in any case
