I was relatively happy with Windows showing different lock screen images of places, countries, nature etc, but all I see how is Starfield images and I feel that is a bit too intrusive. I hope this doesn't become a trend for their own games because I do like the feature overall.

spooky_turnip,

@djlink I think it's time you think about switching to Linux. Unless you have specific software lock-in Linux is great as a daily driver for gaming and work. MacOS is also a good alternative but $$$$$$$$

@spooky_turnip I do a lot of console porting work and I need windows. I like linux but most stuff I need lacks support unfortunately.

Interesting to see it's not only me seeing an increase in ads, for me tho it's MLB the show or whatever coming up as a notification from "suggested". I get the feeling it's pushed based on region or something because I have no interest in sports games apart from racing, much less yearly released ones.

@djlink I switched mine to a folder of Everspace 2 wallpapers I got for being a backer. It does quite a nice slideshow of them. But weirdly the login screen is still always the MS chosen one

@sinbad yeah, I've been fine with it until now. I wanna see landscapes again

SuperDicq,

@djlink So basically they turned your lockscreen into advertising. I don't think that's acceptable at all.
