Windows just changed my desktop wallpaper and re-added the search bar without my permission after an update

My Password Is 1234@lemmy.world to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 892 points –

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 hate that goddamn searchbar

Tell me about it. Useless. The whole start menu is fucked honestly. Can’t ever find anything you’re looking for. WHY THE FUCK WOULD I WANT BING WEB SEARCH RESULTS HERE!?!?

Just booted? Better wait 45 seconds and many failed searches, because DNS isn't resolving.
Doesn't matter that you are trying to launch a local program, it absolutely must delay the user experience until it can successfully resolve a DNS query.
Disgusting
