Thanks for the heads up. I won't be "migrating" to Win 11. From Win 3.11 to my three registered copies of Win 10 - I am finally, finally done with this sh*t.
It’s almost as if Microsoft wants people to switch to Linux. I can’t think of any other reason to repeatedly shoot one’s foot over and over again with constant missteps.
I think they figure most of the population can't even find the settings in Windows let alone figure out how to make a boot-able USB drive. Steam-OS currently on the Steam Deck is the closest thing I have seen that if it comes to Mainstream systems and takes off more could actually get people to switch. I have honestly though never seen so many people switching to Linux in my life since the Steam Deck came out...
I've stuck with Microsoft simply out of convenience, despite all the crap they were pulling. But now with the AI Copilot bullshit (it literally records EVERYTHING you do...and take screenshots) and other stuff I will literally be switching to Linux and using virtualization to run software I can't find on Linux. They literally made me do it. Its too much. Fuck that.
This is literally insane, the amount of damage that can be done by simply forgetting to log out. Imagine staying logged into your outlook on a public computer for example. Its insane. Its crazy. Someone can have access to EVERYTHING you do if you forget to log out. I can't even begin to comprehend why someone would do that.
My suspicion is that this is not entirely Windows but pressure from certain 3 letter agencies who want everyone's data at all times. "Nice Monopoly you geo there. Be a shame if it was... broken up. Now, if you just pass on all user data to us in real time nobody from the Department of Justice will be calling, savvy?" Not that I think Microsoft is not eager to collect data on everyone to sell anyway. I am just stating there is likely stick as well as carrot for Microsoft here.
I just have my browser configured to clear stored cookies whenever I close the browser. Anyone who has computers that are publicly accessible should be set up this way. This does not dismiss the issue, though, and there’s no legitimate reason that I can think of for Microsoft to make this decision.
I kind of like this change as I absolutely hate having to constantly re-login on my own devices, and in multiple applications. However, I have zero trust in this. It will stay logged in places I don't want, but still keep kicking me out of places I want to be logged in.
I always sign out of any accounts, doesn't matter who or what company it is...always sign out of your accounts! I ditched Win10 2 years ago, for Linux and haven't looked back. I only use a PC with Win10 for Fusion 360, and nothing else. Linux PC is my everyday 'driver'. As an added bonus, I switch off my smartphone every night and put it in a metal box (faraday cage), and I also switch off my internet router as well.
The part I find myself thinking about is wondering how many folks out there already basically have their accounts already do this to some degree and thus their accounts are already and have been for a while, insecure. I know at one point in time I just ticked that box to stay signed in so I wouldn't have to type my password in again and again, but well, I'm a socially reclusive hermit who is stuck in Rural Indiana, so like, the only devices I'm signing into ARE my own :P
idk if the will really keep you out if youre signed in elsewhere, but the prompt asking every time I sign in does get overly repetitive... Like those cookie dialogues you see everywhere
Either way you should always make sure to sign out when in foreign computers. Microsoft also allows you to go password less by using an Authenticator. You have no idea how many failed login attempts per day I see in the app’s history.
You can be signed into the same account on multiple PCs. I have local accounts on all my PCs and signed into microsoft services on each one. No issues. So I'm not so sure this is an issue.
Am I missing something here? Several comments about people switching to Linux - but it's the email that is the issue here surely. If you sign in to Hotmail on Linux, won't it still keep you signed in? I think staying signed in (on any OS) is an awful idea, with security risks built in.
A definition of inconveniencing convenience. Glad I am not using this account AT ALL. There it cries sidelined and degraded to a standard user account, forgotten. Might even unistall it if the big boss lets me. If I go on a holiday I don't want to read my emails, unless it is a working holiday. And for those busy folks there are portable computers they can take with them everywhere, as they indeed usually do. But what if the computer crashes and cannot be revived?
I'm telling you, a bunch of clowns run these corpos. Maybe the best way to get a job nowadays is to pitch the worst ideas to corpos like Microsoft, and you'll instantly get hired.
Another Dumb move by Microsoft. What is is going on. I miss the good old days of windows when you just used your computer as u saw fit no forcing of Microsoft accounts no forcing people to move on to another version of windows. I also think the windows insider program show be disbanded they ( meaning Microsoft don’t listen to us anyways. ) I have been on the dev channel for a few months now and no really big improvements Microsoft listen to your customers Ps sorry for the rant it’s just Microsoft is really making me mad
As I have read elsewhere, after Microsoft keeps your Microsoft Account signed in to Windows, they will integrate OneDrive in Windows without you realizing your data is now in the CLOUD and controlled by Microsoft. Thus, Windows HELLO security may be forced upon all of us. Not a good step if you think about it. Microsoft is playing with us all. Look ahead to what is really going on.
This is why it's more important than ever to get off of windows at all cost even if it means leaving windows installed on a virtual machine if the transition will be slow. The more people keep using it, the more they can keep forcing these kinds of things.
Hahaha. That popup never worked in the first place. I'm glad thay trash shit that does not work. Hope their authenticator phone app is next on the chopping block. Seen to many accounts lost because it desides to unbind on its own.
bad move from microsoft question that means if my windows 10 is activated with digital license connected to my microsoft account which it is and i wanna sign in from another computer i cannot
Microsoft, Microsoft ? The name rings a bell. Didn't they build those buggy third rate computers with that crap operating system back in 70s ? Don't tell me they're still going ?
Thats not a problem at all. Actually its default behavior of most websites to stay signed in, and its annoying that MS site asks every time if i want to stay signed in and actually anyway signs me out, even if i answer yes. So i hope with this change, i dont need to login 1000 times again and again. Regarding forgetting to sign out on foreign PC - well its something you should not forget, and if you do - you are at fault yourself. Ah and BTW, there is such a thing as private window.

I switched in 2008. Everything I've heard about MS since has reinforced my confidence in that decision.
Real life is better than all devices. Every internet requires an account. Only button phones will survive!

Security risk & probably MS tracking your online activity.
Incredible. Microsoft is devolving rapidly. It is one bad decision after the other.
Do they have a special division to implement bad decisions?

Yes. It's called the Windows Update Team.
Yet another reason to use private browsing.
Awesome! Thank you for Sharing! 💯✴
Data, data, data. Gobble, gobble, gobble.
Good info! Thank you!
You can probably change that in the Registry by changing some value or by adding a file in the Registry manually with a particular value.
Registry locked _”For your protection,”_ coming up.

Cool wallpaper! Where is from? Please I really like it to set this wallpaper.
They want watch us all the time whis company is insane xD
I always sign out of any accounts, doesn't matter who or what company it is...always sign out of your accounts!

Ha the joke is on Microsoft I sign out every time anyway
If you have a microsoft account in the first place, the joke is on you.
The part I find myself thinking about is wondering how many folks out there already basically have their accounts already do this to some degree and thus their accounts are already and have been for a while, insecure.

Thank you!!!
Strange how they are saying security is important and then do stuff like this
Glad I never signed up for a Microsoft account as far as I know. Sure sounds like a security risk to me.
idk if the will really keep you out if youre signed in elsewhere, but the prompt asking every time I sign in does get overly repetitive... Like those cookie dialogues you see everywhere
thanks for the infor
What's going on at Microsoft? Too much DEI hire? The ideas are more insane than those from Jaguar.
Either way you should always make sure to sign out when in foreign computers. Microsoft also allows you to go password less by using an Authenticator. You have no idea how many failed login attempts per day I see in the app’s history.
I have moore then 1 pc that i use that would cause problem for me i would have to sign out to my hoter pc time to moove to linux
Question: After signing out on someone else's computer, is this information still in the browser? Don't leave this info in the browser!
You can be signed into the same account on multiple PCs. I have local accounts on all my PCs and signed into microsoft services on each one. No issues. So I'm not so sure this is an issue.

Another nail in the coffin for Windows.
I just flat refuse to log into a Microsoft account for ANYTHING, EVER. I've managed just fine without "signing in" at all.
My Windows 11 24H2 I get error message 0xc0e90001
... i would never sign in to a foreign pc with my ms account. Thats an awful idea to begin with..
Well if they never had my login info this won't work for them.
A definition of inconveniencing convenience. Glad I am not using this account AT ALL. There it cries sidelined and degraded to a standard user account, forgotten. Might even unistall it if the big boss lets me. If I go on a holiday I don't want to read my emails, unless it is a working holiday. And for those busy folks there are portable computers they can take with them everywhere, as they indeed usually do. But what if the computer crashes and cannot be revived?
If I'm logging in on a friend's PC, I'm using private browsing mode.

Free version of OneDrive barely holds anything, it's a damn joke.
MS treats us as windows junkies. More and more bullshit. Personally I am going to Linux next week
This means I will continue to NOT use a GDF'in Microsh** accunt.
This is a very bad idea. I hope Microsoft rethinks it and changes it. 👍
They won't. Bad decisions are their business model, now...
Hahaha. That popup never worked in the first place. I'm glad thay trash shit that does not work. Hope their authenticator phone app is next on the chopping block. Seen to many accounts lost because it desides to unbind on its own.
Why is Microsoft so lame.
Young dumb devs managed by old farts that never learned to code. People with an actual brain have retired or got fed up with the bs.
bad move from microsoft question that means if my windows 10 is activated with digital license connected to my microsoft account which it is and i wanna sign in from another computer i cannot
This is not good, if anything it should be the opposite
Microsoft, Microsoft ?
The name rings a bell.
Didn't they build those buggy third rate computers with that crap operating system back in 70s ?
Don't tell me they're still going ?

This is just plain stupid
M$ being dumb again....
Another bad idea from Bill Gates and Friends
Give me a break. Someone has to do this anyway when they go into a business or public network, which is what I do on a daily basis.
Good on Microsoft accounts automatically stay signed . God bless Microsoft .
This is another terrible M$ security hole in a long string of M$ security holes.
switching to Linux , Microsoft and Google will be gone from my life. I'll be using Graphene on my phones too.
Apple also has spyware
