its crazy that this eu law makes windows seem reasonable, and its completely crazy everywhere else. hope lawmakers outside eu catch on and implement this aswell.
I wish but trust me : THEY WON’T
It isn't about the lawyers. It is about the gouvernments.
EU has been forcing companies to make certain changes. It even pushed Apple to Adopt the USB type C for Iphones.
@@zakariya2011_I will partially disagree.
There is the Brussels Effect. Many regulatory frameworks by he EU are copied in spirit by other countries, although not line by line.
For example the GDPR in spirit was copied by some US-States. It’s not as strict as the GDPR but it’s something.
It won’t come tomorrow or next week but at least some principles of this will land in other countries eventually.
good luck with that. in america nobody gives a single F. it's hopeless
The whole world will become Europe
It’s sad that I would have to reinstall my OS to get features that I have always wanted with windows. It’s sad that Microsoft hates me as a user so much that they lock down legitimately good features to a region because they were forced to do it only there.
Why does Microsoft hate me so much? I purchased my computer. I bought a windows license. I didn’t pirate it or anything. At this point… it genuinely hurts and it’s personal.
Glad I started moving to Linux when I did. It’s stuff like this that tell me to flip Microsoft the bird even more.
Moved to linux since proton came out, now on fedora and am unable to switch back to windows
They don't hate you. They don't even know who you are as a person, form their perspective you are just data and profit potential. In fact everything in capitalism works like this, never trust corporations, it's fine to buy and use their stuff if they have any useful tool you need or simply like. But never let them persuade you into thinking they actually really care about anything other than profit. The people who work there might care about lot's of stuff, they are people, but businesses have to generate profit and growth, and will do anything to keep it going
I once used linux for a few months, but ultimately moved back to windows since there were a few things which didn't work which I needed or lack of alternatives I liked for some others.
I really kinda hate myself for it, but at least I did honestly try. Whenever windows 10 stops being supported is when I will probably go to linux (mint) once more and hope that the issues I faced back then are ironed out at that point.
@@WolfiiDog13 absolutely right! I know it isn’t personal, but it certainly feels like it.
I use windows because there are things I legitimately like on windows. (Don’t really like windows itself). This just pushes me even further into Linux where I feel at least somewhat respected as a user
@@mariocraft95there are multiple things that you may like from windows that are replicated already on Linux. For a base, you should look at KDE. It's a desktop for Linux that is praised for working quite similarly to Linux. Linux Mint with its Cinnamon desktop also gets similar praise
Imagine giving the customers who paid for the product what they want 🤔
Nah that will never work
Uhm. Linux? 🙂 (No, it REALLY is not that difficult.)
next step: eu regulations make us be able to remove any android app
"next step"? No no, this is already part of the DMA
@@niccoloveslinux btw im not in europe, im from brazil :)
i was just expecting something to shake up the regulations and other countries follow the rules and apply them everywhere
unfortunately if u buy a phone in a poor country it comes with lots and lots of bloatware with no option to unlock bootloader officially
projects like lineageos (the most popular) only support a tiny fraction of phones available in these countries
some devices get almost 40 unwanted apps after full device installation (lots of unknow games, short video apps like kwai, tiktok, instagram, facebook lite , miscellaneous apps, etc.)
@@macaquinhopequeno i also thought that removing android bloat would probably be the more significant outcome of that law, since phones often come loaded with a lot more non removable bloat than windows does
@@macaquinhopequenotry uninstalling/disabling these apps from adb, doesn't require root/unlocked bootloader.
I remember rooting my S7 Edge to remove bloat and then those shit heads refused me warranty because of that even tough you can't use it as an excuse in EU.
It's funny how using powertoys run on windows search DOES use your preferred search engine and browser, but it took the EU passing a law like this so they also implement it in windows search, ridiculous imo
What is this powertoy you speak of? I am curious.
@@bluephreakr powertoys is a official microsoft toolkit/tool available from Microsoft's own github or the store app on windows 10/11
@@bluephreakrit's a software with lots of tools to enhance the usability of windows. It's free to use, so you can test it yourself
@@bluephreakr Is essentially additional windows programs made by Microsoft that add the nice stuff that everyone asks but you have to install manually, just search Microsoft PowerToys in your internet search engine
Loving the casual Ace pin! 🖤🩶🤍💜
It's hilarious seeing Microsoft tiptoeing around EU law and trying their best not to implement spyware, even though they're dying to. Though as soon as you connect to some non-EU IP address during an international travel, Windows might revert back to the standard bloatfest Windows is known for, since they don't have to comply with any other region laws. Either way, after having been a macOS user for 20 years and recently having switched to Linux, I absolutely cannot imagine myself using anything else other than Fedora.
why fedora over other distros? would you recommend fedora for beginners? how about ubuntu or even linux mint ?
Fedora is good for extra stability. Linux Mint is great for an average person.
EU law takes into account EEA citizens outside their territory too, so that might be risky for msoft
@rohanofelvenpower5566 I also use Fedora with the KDE plasma desktop environment. Can't recommend it enough. I tried Linux Mint multiple times but couldn't figure out why fractional scaling was giving me screen tearing. Worked like a charm in Fedora KDE. The whole layout of KDE is very windows-like. Fedora is backed by Red Hat, so it gets lots of stable updates and software. It's in the perfect spot, not bleeding edge like Arch but also not slow like Ubuntu.
I don't think Windows is dying out, considering the Worldwide market share they still have.
Even though MacOS is rising in user-base, but it's entry cost is still keeping people away from it in a lot of the international market, especially for the newer products.
I mean, a basic Windows PC (with 1TB SSD) can be made with new parts for under $600, while cheapest new MacOS (with 1TB SSD) costs $1000 (i am referring to M2 Mac mini with 1TB SSD upgrade).
As for Linux System, while they are overall cheaper and good, but they still have a learning curve harder than Windows, meaning Beginners/Amateurs (who make the largest share of the market) would prefer Windows over Linux.
Next, please EU, don't force people to have a Microsoft Live account just to use Windows.
That is not mandatory. Although skipping linking to live when creating a new local user is always unnecessary obtuse/unobvious.
It's also possible to switch between live and local account.
That's has always been and still is possible
@@FireDrage It's not easily possible to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account. There may be "technical" workarounds, but the installation process hides them as good as possible; they clearly have every intention of forcing users to use a Microsoft account. Without pushback from users and/or politicians, it won't be long before a Windows 11 installation really cannot be completed without an online login anymore.
One thing I absolutely hate about windows is that it occasionally asks me to set up back-up to OneDrive which I don't want it to do, so I try to click through it quickly when it does pop up but it still turned itself on. The pop up looks like part of the setup process but still comes up even when the device is already set up. Its such a silly and intrusive operating system.
I was able to uninstall one drive from my windows 10 laptop. I don't know about 11 (which, if you have, you should just go back to 10, even if it costs you money) but its uninstallable on 10.
@@clwho4652 weird, I uninstalled onedrive from my windows 10 laptop no problem (from the app list nonetheless, still I had to delete the whole folder from the program files because uninstalling doesn't remove that), though it was in 2022 with 21H2, maybe they changed something with 22H2, idk, my win 10 laptop committed seppuku the day after I updated it to 22H2 kek
The issue windows 10 has is that the onedrive shortcut doesn't disappear from file explorer even if you uninstalled it, and if you click it by mistake gives a bad error with red icon that is rather annoying, as you cannot esc/enter out of it but you have to click on okay.
There's a registry hack to make the context menu go away tho (even if you didn't uninstall the app, using the tweak hides it).
In Windows 11 you can just uninstall onedrive and the explorer context menu goes away with no tweaks needed.
and don't forget to disable automated tasks!

I'd recommend running autoruns, you may be able to disable it there.
I would expect that soon there will be tutorials on how to get those features outside of EU as well.
I want to see a modded Windows EU edition ISO later next year, with all bloatware, MS Store crap and Microsoft Account requirement/nagging removed. That would be the only reasonable way for me to keep using Win11 or whatever is next.
Also, would have loved to see Windows get a Chromium treatment someday: release base win32/64 and directX libraries as Open Source, upon which community-made free 100% native Windows compatible OSes and M$'s own spyware OS runs on. But this may be too unrealistic to imagine at the moment.
Why would they ever open source their OS? Like it doesn’t make any sense.
I think you can get the Azure source.
I think the only way MS would open source windows is either they give up on making an OS for the general consumer in the future (losing enough market share to Linux) or they go out of business and their proprietary IPs go open source@@EraYaN
Well there is Windows 10 LTSC, you need to pirate it though, unless you have a enterprise i guess?
You can get rid of all the crap by modifying the windows iso file with NTLite. You can also remove some stuff with Rufus when you use it to make bootable USB from iso. With these you can install without making online account. Downside is that you need to reinstall Windows.
After you have installed Windows you can use Spybot Anti-beacon to get rid of telemetry. Anti-Beacon adds blocklist to hosts file so it blocks internet connections to telemetry services even to some non-Microsoft programs.
Hope the rest of the world jumps on the band wagon. I’ve already moved on to Linux and don’t have any aspirations in moving back. But for everyone else that uses or needs to use windows I hope windows is forced to make this change available for the rest of the world. But I’m not too hopeful.
I just use win10 for directx and easy anticheat and compatibility. But this a great step in the right direction.
I think it would really help if someone made a version of Linux that was essentially a clone of windows in terms of user interface and usability but without the bloat and spyware.
The EU has its many faults, but it man, when it get it right it gets it right in spades😂
Thank goodness I live in the UK where I am now free to continue to suffer MS abusive practises and bloat.
Thank goodness Brits still have sarcasm
The UK will get the same European version. All EU laws were encompassed into UK law.
@@PixelProfessor Most laws but not all and the laws the UK doesn't like any more are constantly being tested in court and through questionable and rushed through legislation. We are no longer in the EEA. I think that's why the UK is getting the new version of Co-Pilot and the EU isn't.
I may be wrong but every article I've read regarding the new release talks about the EU and EEA interchangeably with no mention of the UK. That might be lazy reportage or it might be because we are no longer protected in the same way as we're no longer in the EEA. I hope I'm wrong but I'm rather cynical about the UK establishment and it's views on business practice.
Or in corporate speak, you can now enjoy all the "innovations" Microsoft comes up without pesky regulations getting in the way!
I think that if the UK boomers did not decided to vote for Brexit, this law vote have been vetoed. You should thank them for bringing Europe closer together.
I'm in the US, so I will be downloading the EU version of Windows. I uninstall edge and all microsoft apps using powershell anyway. So, that won't be any difference but I won't have as much work to do.
hopefully they won't use IP location to realize you're not in the EU & turn those features off.
I only ever run Windows in a VM, and then only if I need to test something, so ehh? but this is definitely a good thing for anybody who does run the system as their main daily driver.
Search Microwin Chris Titus and use it now instead of waiting.
@taragwendolyn well, I have both windows and Linux. Linux is the one that I run every day. I only have windows for one thing, I can't play one steam game that doesn't run on Linux yet. If not for that, I wouldn't run windows.
@@Tzalim Can't you run a windows VM inside Linux? Seems like that might be the best solution for you
love the ace flag!
This just makes me wanna switch more now. they’re being forced to change the whole operating system in the EU. But we can’t even got one change here in the united states.
I would love that the EU makes Microsoft release the MS Office on Linux.
I personally used to think the same. But now I stick to Libre Office (and open source alternatives) in general, even in my work PC which runs windows. Granted, I don't need any specific or advanced formatting so it works for me, might not work for everyone else, but probably could work well enough for most people
MS-Office 32bit can be installed under Wine, except MS-Outlook and MS-Access.
@@its_ruu I also use Libre office. But when someone pass me a PowerPoint, it doesn't reproduce well. Some text is moved, the fonts aren't the same, some GIFs don't move, videos don't reproduce. It's hell.
A lot of people say that the compatibility is basically 1:1, but I think that only applies to Writer, and even so, it isn't perfect either.
The utopian thing would be that everyone starts using Libre office, but that's almost impossible. So it would be cool if the Office suite was available for Linux, but MS don't want to as it's one of the biggest reasons why a lot of people still stick to windows even if they hate it
there's a difference between saying you have to play fair and have equal competition vs forcing companies on making products it doesn't want to. I'd like to see the affinity image tools I paid for come with me to linux but can't force it so they lost my business on the new version. I guess we're just to small a market for companies to care about
@@daemonbyte well, than they could force MS to use an open standard to make it compatible with every office suite available
Hopefully this will give power to other movements, as it is the equivalent of Xbox One "needing" to be online at all times for work and then within a week they managed to take it down the feature. It proves they can do it.
if the eu can force apple to use usb-c and force microsoft to fix windows, they can do anything
They forced smartphone manufacturers to make swappable batteries a feature for smartphones. No more of these ridiculous needs to break open the smartphone to replace a defect battery.
It's just a question of political will. No corporation wants to lose access to a large consumer market (and possibly allow competition to stake their claim on it), they will bend over backwards on just about anything to keep it. Any country in the world has similar leverage, the US most of all. They just have to be willing to use it.
Next step: allow rooting/bootloader unlocking/jailbreaking/installing another OS on ALL DEVICES (Chromebooks, Androids, iDevices, etc)
For free. On my phone it would be possible if I paid money to a sketchy unlocker company because huawei shut down its own unlocker service.
Also, while we're at it, force phone manufacturers to release sim unlock codes for all of their past phones.
I love Nicco's accent. That is probably the only reason why I watch his videos.
What a polite way to insult him 😂
Off subject but gotta support my fellow ace Linux enjoyers
Thanks!
Hi Nicco, what's the music in the background? Sounds really chill!
That's really amazing. I had to install windows recently as I'm working on a Unity VR research project for my study, and it turned out OpenXR in Unity is only supported on Windows and Mac. It's good to know that I will have half decent experience with it now that I'm able to uninstall Microsoft spyware and even use stuff like search and widgets inside Windows with proper providers.
When I buy a new SSD I will move completely to Linux, except for online games.
:)
this is wonderful
Meanwhile us linux users will just keep eating our popcorn :D
windows has better kernels though
@@GaioSonase wdym?
@@expectnull I think they mean the dynamically loaded parts of it are easier to isolate. Otherwise they're full of s**t, linux kernel has been faster and more reliable for decades now, microsoft and nvida are the ONLY reason the average joe have an unjustly poor opion of linux.

Will it remind me in 3 days to finish setup, eventually forcing me to create a microsoft account ? Will it reset my privacy settings after each and every update ?

Well, we can look forward to seeing how people from all over the world will suddenly move to the EU next year.
Every time I hear something about Windows, I'm reminded why I switched to Linux.
Agreed.
On Linux, you won't be stopped from RM RFing your whole drive. Meanwhile Microsoft is bloated with things that can't be installed without tons of scripts.
On Linux you can make the GUI look however you want. From windows-like to mac-like to whatever gnome is
On Linux you gotta do some tinkering and the TRUE Linux vendors are small (as in those who build their products entirely around Linux) like TuXedo Laptops and System_76 but they're more customizable then normal vendors like dell.
And on Linux, the new user experience is hell (no, your grandma who only uses chrome doesn't count) but each small thing you learn, from what desktop environments are to rolling vs stable vs unstable vs LTS, feels like a legitimate achievement.
(PS: for those Linux users on Reddit who *think* they know how us newbies feel. You don't. We aren't magic computer wizards, we don't know what X11 and Wayland are, we can't even use the terminal properly, and we don't know jack💩 about arch stop speaking on our behalf.)
Good luck playing online games though. I play single player and (outside of RPG maker VX games specifically) I'm ok.
Linux will get rid of all windows problems, then you'll have linux problems.
@@dreaper5813 Don't know who's coping, but I have no major issues with windows.
@@dreaper5813 I have no problem having a ms account. I see no ads, don't know what you're talking about.
Windows as an operating system is a big gate keeper to other operating systems. And even with the change introduced to windows eu, the majority of users won't care and still use edge as their default browser, because it works. And why's that? Because nowadays for the majority of users operating systems are just glorified browser emulators.
I really don’t get this argument about the default browser being Edge, in 2023, after almost 20 years of Chrome being the dominant browser.
And, Edge is really Chrome under the hood…
@@rodrigodearcayne In the early 2000s the most used browser was internet explorer. The reason for that being is, that internet explorer was the default browser back then. This changed to being chrome with the introduction of smartphones. Because soon after android was introduced as the dominant nominator google shipped chrome with it.
With the majority of user computers being smartphone chrome obviously will be the market leader. that in itself can be regarded as an issue too.
With newer versions of Windows microsoft introduced their Edge browser. And it being the default browser on Windows will also see a dominant rise in usage.
tl;dr
But the gist of it is. Chrome is the most popular browser because there are many android smartphones around.
Idc about edge being pushed as chrome is still most used. Wouldnt hurt they be competing with google right
Chrome is not the place to be anymore for a long time. Google is a terrible grift company since 10 years. I just use Brave and recommend it to everyone. Apart from the far superior security with their "shield" it will block all adds of Google like YT adds. So time to change my virtual friend, enjoy 😎@@rodrigodearcayne
Edit: I forgot to say I also use Brave-browser on mobile for near all apps. Even more important as adds on mobile are the most intrusive and get 100% blocked by Brave. All apps thru Brave browser work perfectly ok (think of youtube, etc). Some apps are a bit different but no problem like GoogleMaps. Google maps recently introduced annoying advertisments on the map and so I migrated that too toward Brave browser under mobile. Only whatsapp and Gmail are still stand alone here. Hope this helps some as it is a big unknown 😊
If anything, Edge pushed is good in a way, because while both Edge and Chrome are crapmium trash, Edge is slightly better, kek
Is there way to do these outside EEA?
It's incredible that we need legislation to enforce what should be basic features of the operating system. Bonkers.
Will this come also for Switzerland?
Curious to know whether once this takes effect, you can select the EEA version when installing Windows and if you can choose the language. Or will M$ have a code in there
(telemetry) that will snoop on your location.
English is a European language, so setting English as the default language shouldn’t automatically imply the user is from outside the EEA.
They'll probably make up a bullshit GPS hardware requirement to install Windows 12.
Although I'm in the US, and primarily a Linux desktop 🖥️ user, this is interesting and holistically hopefully for us all. Thanks, and God bless,
Regarding ignoring your deafult apps - Windows has been doing that and still does it (apart from EU). For example if you click a link in Windows settings, it will open MS website in Edge no matter what's your default browser is. Same with links in widgets.
I installed Windows 11 N, and it has missing feature called media features that you have to enable in order to have app like Viber or Matlab, and i destroyed windows update files, now i can't enable it, and i cant use Viber or Matlab....
1:13 I was already doing that, there's a registry key to remove web results from start
Bro, please add a column view in that File Explorer of KDE if you can, it drives me crazy. I've talked to anyone about this, including my therapist, and no one seems to be able to do anything about this (my) life threaning issue :))
Will interoperability between messengers, break encrypted chat?
I've been trying to learn how to use the Group Policy administrative templates to quickly fix my Windows 11 installs. I found the spreadsheet and I'm working through them identifying which ones to change.
But, I don't know what to do with the administrative templates once I've got them ready to apply. Can they be applied during a reinstall? Does anyone know?
Is it a personal computer o work computer that is domain joined? I think admx might only work on domain joined corp computers. But what the admx actually do is setting settings in your registry. I think you can open the admx in a text editor and see what registry settings it sets. You can just have a text file with a list of a bunch of registry key and set values and save it as a .reg file and then run it and it will set all those values for registry keys in a second.
@@abvmoose87 You are correct sir.
You we still won't be able to completely disable the news section in widgets...?
i prefer this windows version even though i'm not in the EU
I think everyone from whole world would agree with you! (expect of Microsoft I guess hehe)
Are manual windows updates and being able to install only security updates without feature updates in Home edition possible?
No just roll ups.
I think so, you can even use group policies on home. If you google it you'll find the tools to do that.

Is this better than Ghost Spectre editons of Windows?
I love the pin!
First song name?
This should be applied also to all type of devices such as tablet smartphone. No more bloatware
3:05 yes, this happens to me all the time
Microsoft always had a seperate edition for EU, I think that doesn't have windows media player and other MS programs.
So they didn't technically create a new version/build for EU, but updated existing build.
Every current Windows PC still ships with the standard Windows variant and nobody intentionally installs the alternative one because it sucks, it can't even play videos by default and has no real advantage.
Also MS has been treating EU users a bit differently either way, for example certain aggressive/manipulative Edge ads aren't used everywhere in the world.
@@SaHaRaSquad Hm... Didn't know that.
That is the case these days yes. But some older versions of Windows had "N" editions which came with less preinstalled applications.
Wait, what will happen to immutable distros with this requirement to be able to uninstall default apps?
They aren't gatekeepers, so they aren't restricted by the DMA.
@@teknixstuff That’s what I was hoping
Linux too is even better in the EU, and it has European origins like Mastodon, Peertube, Libreoffice, and many others.

Sounds like a good grey market opportunity, exporting Win EU to other regions.
I hope there’s an English eu version😊
If it wasnt so expensive to move I would try to move. But that would be dificult for me right now.
Nice moves by removing cortana and inbuild bing search....all countries should do this
The oddity is when it comes to the UK... like, i would guess the UK would clone much of the stuff the EU is doing, as its not like it was built with the US ruleset or any others for that matter, i think of this on a standard consumerism scale as if you sell anything be it EU or UK then who in the right mind is gonna repackage EU based stuff for the UK unless you have infinite money, its all a cost for the company.
Even for companies that want to seperate things, it makes more sense to just say "this side gets this version cos things" as the logistics involved will be messier than ever, again, more cost to the company, its not about the people, the companies just dont like parting with 1 cent.
It must feel good for Americans that they can continue to enjoy freedom on their US version of windows, no regulatory madness for me, sir! So cute.
oh you're ace? huh cool, never knew :3
He isn't ace, as far as I know. But he wears various pins to show support to the communities!
This has partly come about because some EU members, the UK, Norway and other Nordic countries which are EU members ran down renewing contracts which had run for decades. The main reasons were that Microsoft broke its word over W10 being the last numbered Windows and that Windows would evolve as a subscription service. THEN they released Windows 11 and the screens of very many machines gave the message that they had become obsolete.
This was profoundly dishonest as the alleged "security standards" were based on a choice at M'soft and a long list of CPUs were not at all obsolete and therefore not able to "support" Windows 11.
Europe tends to have state run education, medical, legal, administrative and transport systems (let alone defense) and I was involved on the IT procurement side of things in the UK. Alongside other European countries, parts of Africa, the middle east, India and the very large Commonwealth we ordered a full assessment to run for up to two years and aspects were at different paces in different countries. Having established that the claimed "security" chips claim was specious there was a deep dive into components and especially Intel showed that M'soft assertions were flagrantly dishonest, especially re age of components set against known parameters.
There had been a 'workaround' after XP was phased out and support could be bought but, once bitten, twice shy. The UK, Commonwealth and Nordic states explored different solutions to suit contexts but the overall effect in densely populated societies and those of similar wealth did not resume seeing Microsoft as the main OS supplier very far into this decade.
The thoroughness of work inspecting the famous systems revealed rather poor patching of kernels in M'soft and Mac, whereas swap file development in the open source expanding 'world', far less heat wastage and the evolution of architectures which had been squashed in the 1980s essentially blew the mysterious air of the giants from toe to head and the techies found a lot of cobwebs, band aid and deliberately reduced I/O versatility for what they were and also symbolized. Greed and the ludicrous situation of purchasers never QUITE owning their devices had a bad smell and how things go from here is far more in the hands of an informed customer base than it was in California's golden decades.
Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway is not the EEA, it's the EFTA and it includes Switzerland.
I hope that Switzerland although we aren't technically in the EEA gets "Windows EU" Let's say the relationship between the EU and Switzerland is... complicated.
You can't even blame the Politicians...
