Windows just changed my desktop wallpaper and re-added the search bar without my permission after an update
In my view, this is unacceptable...
They changed my background (previously there was a default blue window), placed an icon in the bottom corner of the screen that read "Learn more about this photo", and re-added the search bar that I had previously removed.
Fortunately, I don't have to deal with this on a daily basis.
Face it, they can do whatever they want with your computer and you're powerless to stop them. They've also been looking through your photos and adding them to their AI model.
We have to face the reality; Microsoft has got the majority of users by their balls. People don't like M$ per say, but rather the applications,the compatibility, and ubiquitousness of their platform.
Till people get their favourite apps on their desired platform, M$ could start charging $10 a month to access Windows + malware + ads, and people would still rush to buy them.
at this rate the only good versions of windows that are supported are windows 10 LTSC and IoT editions since these are versions of windows used by most corporations schools and goverments thus they need to only get security updates
