At least there's a "Reject all" button.
God can you imagine.
768 collapsed areas for each one. You have to expand that area and click the small slider with a 3 second UI freeze each time you do.
Then at the end when you click apply, you get a spinning wheel with "Applying your choices" that seems like it has timed out.
Of course I can imagine, I ve used windows for thirty years now.
That's when I pop open the developer console and write some code to automate clicking them all out of spite
Or just refuse to install it.
Just block the popup they can't do shit if you don't accept it.
