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.

Yeah, I don't view changing your desktop background when you were using the default as an issue lol.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

I agree with you here. As soon as you change something, that should be respected but as long as you use the default theme/wallpaper/… that could just as well mean that you prefer tracking the default or don't care at all.

Now bringing back the explicitly disabled search bar really is atrocious

I do, it's userspace. Expectation is that they keep their paws away after user set it up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If someone didn't explicitly choose to use the default then they didn't set it up. They were just using the default.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, and that's where the OS vendor shouldn't meddle anymore.

Ooooh, so meddlesome, the default desktop background changed, big corpo is coming for you. Come on, we shouldn't mix actually valid complaints with stupid stuff like this. OP specifically mentioned the search bar thing that they turned off. That's valid. Forgive me if I don't see the problem with changing the default desktop background, something that literally all OSes and Desktop Environments do fairly regularly that nobody raises a fuss about.

The fact Microsoft keeps re-enabling features users are disabling isn't something to just ignore. Imagine if they were the silently turn on a feature like Recall.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Never happened on my systems. And I oversee >200 systems.
This screams the microsoft diashow feature for the background. Those (at times) rarely change and OP probably applied the wallpaper by right-clicking a picture instead of changing it from the settings and that's at best a bug because Windows didnt notice you set the wallpaper from a different part of the system...

I was mostly referring to the search bar and I've seen multiple people report Microsoft updates reverting settings.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Microsoft reverting settings never happened to me as well.
Might be US (or non-EU) users getting shafted as per usual.
