Calling windows unusable because of a tiny window appearing on the bottom right corner is just being dramatic.

Do you really think just because of that? You guys are dramatizing a lot than me. I just say that is annoying, defaults are not fine. Tweaking it consumes my time a lot. Don't miss the whole point. It's just a tiny tiny little bit example of how awful and annoying defaults are.

Pop ups?

That is not the case. Default builds of Windows 10 & 11 can send annoying notifications like "Scanned your computer blah blah...". And I assume there are lot more. I mean if it isn't popup, then what it is? I mostly disable notifications completely by the way. Probably there are more than that, idk.

If you call popups, annoying apps "usable" then it is.

I at least spend a day to make it less annoying.
