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.

I just run Windows 11 Enterprise and don’t see any of this crap

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Do tell about this. Are there any downsides? Any compatibility issues with hardware or software?

At least it's a virtual machine.

I wish there was an easier way to tell people about Ameliorated and give it a try. Having Windows update and edge removed has already been so much better.

Now I do have to mention that I still run the iso they offered back on version 21H1 which I prefer because installing Windows takes roughly 2 minutes until it's ready to do whatever

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Nice, looks really cool. Wanted to do a clean install anyway, will give it a try.

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 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 11 months ago (1 children)

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

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 11 months ago (2 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 love to extol the virtues of ReviOS. You’ll never have to worry about windows doing things ever again as it rips the guts out of windows. Seriously check it out.

It’s real easy to install.

Also what Linux and theme are you running there?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I've steered away from these as a hangover of trust issues back from the old XP 'lite' ISO days. However since Microsoft is clearly the main source of malware on windows these days I think its time to let that go..

I think I might have to check this out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I use it on my VMs, my bootcamp and my main gaming pc.

You download the AME tool, load in the Revi playbook and press go. Just need to disable AV for it to do its magic.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ah nice. I sadly need to keep Windows as I have some expensive software that only runs on that os (video and music production), but Windows 11 is a massive step back for a power user. Thanks for the heads up.

And they've made Bing your standard browser and activated Copilot.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hahaha you worry about that but they sent ALL your private information to their systems all the time… it’s a disgusting OS and org. I use Linux

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure they are not sending all my files. I would definitely see it in network traffic

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago (3 children)

When they tell you they're walking back Recall and it's "off by default", remember that they constantly do this shit.

They've absolutely gone mad with power

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Isn't this just normal Windows behaviour? I feel like I've been reading these kinds of posts forever.
