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.

    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…

          Microsoft reverting settings never happened to me as well.
          Might be US (or non-EU) users getting shafted as per usual.
