  Yeah, I don’t view changing your desktop background when you were using the default as an issue lol.

    The fact Microsoft keeps re-enabling features users are disabling isn’t something to just ignore. Imagine if they were the silently turn on a feature like Recall.

      Never happened on my systems. And I oversee >200 systems.
      This screams the microsoft diashow feature for the background. Those (at times) rarely change and OP probably applied the wallpaper by right-clicking a picture instead of changing it from the settings and that’s at best a bug because Windows didnt notice you set the wallpaper from a different part of the system…

        I was mostly referring to the search bar and I’ve seen multiple people report Microsoft updates reverting settings.

    I agree with you here. As soon as you change something, that should be respected but as long as you use the default theme/wallpaper/… that could just as well mean that you prefer tracking the default or don’t care at all.

    Now bringing back the explicitly disabled search bar really is atrocious

    I do, it’s userspace.

      If someone didn’t explicitly choose to use the default then they didn’t set it up. They were just using the default.

        Yeah, and that’s where the OS vendor shouldn’t meddle anymore.
