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.

I think I might have to check this out.

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.

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.

I quite like 11 after it’s had a good going over with Revision!
