Windows Ads After Buying a PC

Suggested Avowed Premium Edition Upgrade your experience and forge your destiny. Buy Now Dismiss >pay hundreds of dollars for new computer >manufacturer bloatware that I have to edit the shell to stop reinstalling itself >pop-up advertisements (poorly) tailored to my interests >something called copilot keeps opening with no provocation and begging me to talk to it >the apps I actually want to use (like xbox accessories to change my gamepad settings) don't work at all with no recourse other than support jeets linking the store page repeatedly like that's a solution by itself

A greentext-style complaint lists the frustrations of buying an expensive new computer: bloatware, intrusive ads, Copilot pop-ups, and broken official apps. The punchline is the absurd contrast between paying hundreds of dollars for premium hardware and still being treated like a target for badly tailored advertising and useless support. It is sent as a sarcastic reaction to modern Windows and Microsoft product annoyances.
