Big 1903 "Features" Update, Ehh?
Literally one of the best 3-1/2 hours in my life I have ever spent with all my clothes on! The question is "Was it as good for Microsoft as it was for me?" One perplexing curiosity is how now my dynamic logon images now render blurry? I've figured out the directory Microsoft commands to dispense and then later impound existing logon images only to issue more and repeat the cyle at random. They rotate in sets of 6... 3 PC (landscape) renderings, appropriate to my monitor's aspect ratio, plus 3 corresponding Mobile (portrait) renderings, apparently for use by most Smart Phones. This indicates that these image rotations are controlled by a server-side system which services both PCs and mobile devices. They use a system folder and revolve system files with long-stream jibberish names, which [i] have to copy to another benign directory, then rename by adding the .jpg extension and a [catalog] file name; while they delete the previous six system files (most of the time). [Using the "Details" view, then arranging by "Date Modified" to determine this...] Each time I see a new image, I navigate (via a self-created shortcut) to the system directory; arrange and then copy the latest 6 (usually that day or the previous day) to the designated benign folder; where I add the extensions and change the file names from Windows Explorer jibberish to a descriptive and numerical title; thereby keeping up with and preserving the very excellent photographs of global landmarks and landscapes. The one big thing after the update [to Version 1903, OS Build 18362.175] that I've noticed is the blurry rendering on boot of these otherwise clear images. Curious mysteries at no extra charge, ehh? -- I AM Bucky Breeder, (*(^; Resolve conflicts the American way : Rock - Paper - Scissors - Endless Trivial Congressional Inquiries .... and I approve this message! |

Personalize/Colors/turn off Transpanency effects That is correct! Thank you for your selective perspective and response. https://winaero.com/blog/disable-blur-sign-in-screen-windows-10/ Leaves me amazed at Microsoft's apparent random decision to arbitrarily and capriciously diddle with some users' previous settings - erratically with each update episode - and wondering how many other people experienced the similar manipulations... If there's an indentifiable pattern, etc. Also curious to see if anybody else is tracking the mysterious pattern of appearing and disappearing login images at seemingly random times not otherwise connected to any other Microsoft Windows update activities... -- I AM Bucky Breeder, (*(^; Resolve conflicts the American way : Rock - Paper - Scissors - What happens in Windows stays in Windows .... and I approve this message! |
