    I’m sure you have the options disabled that show this kind of stuff but it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Anyone who is not tech savvy (99% of the population) will have no clue how to turn this stuff off or that it’s even an option.

    I guarantee any PC sold by any big box store or on Amazon will come with this stuff enabled by default.

      haha WHOA, that SUCKS.

      I’ve never had that, though… not on my Windows machines (plural). Did you buy your machine from a manufacturer like HP? It just feels like something HP would do… never buy HP anything, everyone (even if this specific event isn’t their fault).

      Edit: This isn’t your image… it’s from Reddit and it’s from SIX years ago.

        The setting is still on my Windows 10 PC. It’s still relevant since they’re still shipping it with Windows.
