    DNS based blocking only works for regular DNS requests.

    At this point, any app that wanted to bypass that could use DoH/DoT+ECH to completely bypass your DNS and thus the blocking it provides. With these tools, all you’d see is an outgoing TLS connection to a remote IP; all other data is encrypted.

      Any app or chunk of windows that went that route would be uninstalled post haste.

      I’m not surprised by the lack of knowledge here. There are tons versions of windows with all kinds of pieces missing and guaranteed that a version of 10/11 with the ad module missing or deactivated would be available ASAP if this kind of thing moves forward.

      You lot should be proud of yourselves, you made sure to bring the worst parts of reddit here and your going to stop getting people like me contributing because of your idiocy.

      In simpler terms for those who can’t handle the above. There are alternatives to the default start menu, one would simply have to install one of those or at the least block the start menu module from accessing the internet.

      You were so focused on being right and holier than thou that you failed to recognize those among you who have been playing with computers since word processors were all the rage. Some of us have been using and abusing windows since the pre 3.x days.
