I am not sure what the adoption rate has been for Win11 but considering you have to own a fairly new PC with TPM enabled to run it I imagine it's low. I haven't enabled the TPM on my MoBo I was hoping that by having TPM disabled it would discourage Windows from pushing a Win11 "upgrade" on me. I have a Linux PC I use as well for the last 5 years and plan to abandon Windows completely once Win 10 is no longer supported. Good Luck ppl!

Ideally you just break wuauserv so you don't receive updates. But you gotta break BITS as well, because that will repair wuauserv if the service is stopped or intentionally corrupted. All you do is open both services and enter junk data to their data fields. Make sure to back up the data so you can revert later, since there's no service that will repair BITS.
