I am running Windows 11 Arm in MacOS Parallels as it's the only option (Microsoft Pulled the 10 Arm Builds).

I decided to not even let this Windows 11 VM connect to the internet (But has access to my MacOS partition to for file access).

It's a shame because windows got so many things right but it's starting to taste bad. We used to write software to have windows control some pretty cool stuff like automation, security and POS but there's no longer a "Pro" version without the dumpster truck.

I do the same, but unfortunately need internet access on win 11 (for the same reason I need windows at all, a historic thin client upon which a large corporation I work for uses)… I could just run a cloud vm with windows 7 for the same purpose, but it breaks email and document “printing” pdf - or at least makes it super inconvenient.

Anyway - today the damn weather showed up on my win 11 taskbar to the extreme left. Click on it and a huge panel of crap opens. No obvious way to turn of these weather alerts. Even the start button sucks , full of crap. Pretty sure it made a Microsoft account automatically too through the parallels installer using my Mac credentials (ugh!)
