And this is one of many reasons I'm glad I dumped Microsoft (and Apple, actually) when I did my last tech refresh.

What’s next? Hopefully, Microsoft won’t start injecting a poll at shutdown demanding to know why I’m turning my PC off for the day.

They already do this in Windows Server. Every unscheduled shutdown and restart requires a reason so it can be properly audited.

My onedrive password expired on my work (and only windows) machine 2 years ago. I have never updated it, and that seems like a really good decision in retrospect.

Fortunately, I run my own Batcloud, so I don't have OneDrive installed.
