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

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

Only downside is it tends to be a bit behind on feature updates which is probably a good thing. All hardware and software is completely compatible. The other bonus is it gives more fine grained controls over telemetry that home and pro don’t.

Okay this sounds like a major win win. I'm guessing security is probably better too. I'm building a new PC soon and this is looking incredibly enticing.
