I hated when Microshaft started taking over my lockscreen in w10, showing me photos of nice places every day while I'm stuck either in a office or working from home. It makes me feel miserable. Fortunately It's still possible to change the settings.
- dorkwood 4y agoI also found this feature depressing, but for a different reason: it took away my autonomy. It was as if I'd come home to my living room only to find that someone had changed all the art on my walls to something else.
- DiabloD3 4y agoYou both realize that you can change that setting, right? Settings -> Personalization -> Lock screen. It has always been there.
- MerelyMortal 4y agoIf I had to guess a percentage: 95% of people never explore settings. (Annecdata: When Windows started combining labels in the taskbar, everytime I asked someone if they liked that, or they prefered seperate labels, they said seperate labels, and then I asked them if I could quickly change it back for them, and they always let me. It was an easy-to-find setting, but no one ever bothered.)
- DiabloD3 4y agoNormally I'd agree that the average user is bad at computers, but the comment I replied to specifically said they wanted to change the image, ergo, they were intended on customizing, but somehow thought they weren't allowed to.
- dorkwood 4y agoYes, I have been using a computer for quite some time now. I still think it's a bad feature!
