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’m not sure how you messed up, because I was able to not blame the user for decisions made on their behalf without their consent, and I too saw this post.

            Yeah, well that’s the difference between us. I don’t believe OP, and I think this is just a troll. You can believe whatever you want, but I’m calling OP a liar liar pants on fire.

      maybe you need to try again.

      Instructions:

      1. install any windows 10 version released before october 2023
      2. disable the search bar
      3. install KB5015684 (or wait 2-3 days for it install automatically)
      4. windows has added back the search bar “for your convenience”

        Weird, because I surely installed windows 10 before that date, turned off the search bar, and have definitely installed that update, but the search bar never popped back up for me. Maybe I’m just lucky.
