I use it quite frequently, especially in circumstances where I don’t have the ability to compose messages in “rich text” where bold/italics/underscore features are available or when I’m coding (in some circumstances it’s appropriate to use caps for reserved words when case is not sensitive) — a throwback to my old dBASE coding days, and if THAT doesn’t carbon-date me into the near-Jurassic days of computing then I don’t know what would!:)//S//.
RECOMMENDED:If you have spent significant amount of time with Windows 10 and have not turned off the lock screen, you probably have noticed the small “Like what you see?” text at the upper-right corner of the lock screen.Clicking or tapping Like what you see text show two options: I want more and Not a fan. The Like what you see text appears if you have turned on Windows Spotlight feature for the lock screen in Windows 10.What is Windows Spotlight?Windows Spotlight is a new feature introduced with Windows 10.
Windows Spotlight automatically sets exceptional pictures from as your lock screen background and lets you submit feedback about a specific background. As you can make out from the picture above, these pictures are truly beautiful. Before the November Update or Threshold 2 update, this feature was exclusive to Home edition, but the feature is now available for both Windows 10 Pro and Home editions.Before we tell you how to turn on or off Windows Spotlight feature, let’s see how the Windows Spotlight feature works, and why it shows Like what you see message on the lock screen.As said at the beginning of this article, clicking “Like what you see?” text shows I want more and Not a fan options.

How to turn on or off Windows Spotlight featureWhile if you love pictures showcased on the homepage of Bing search, you probably don’t want to turn off the Windows Spotlight feature.
I don’t mind the lock-screen pictures. Actually, I quite like the variety. I don’t mind being asked if I like a picture or not either.But WHAT I DESPISE is the inane dribble that smears itself across the image with some terrible attempt at a pithy comment that’s what attempting to introduce an element of interaction??FFS, Microsoft – we’re not all 12!!What really riles me is the thought that some moron is doing this for a job.
I don’t mind morons having jobs; they have to eat too. But when the moron is given access to my computer, allowing them to spread their thinly-veiled brain-incontinence over my screen at the start of each session, it leaves me with nothing more than nausea.Now, you’ve had your fun and it’s time to go away. Please.Tim Rowe says. Also, adding to my last comment, I think we should have been given the option to try this photo thing or opt out in the first place! Presuming that we want it is pretty aggressive, don’t you think?An option toopt out, or turn it on and off would be preferred rather than being forced to search out how to get rid of it, would have been a whole lot nicer!!And why not ask US what we want!!
I am quite capable of telling YOU which pics from the internet I WANT to see!! Lol!!Most folks would be quite happy to send YOU our pics!! For instance, I like Horses, Cats, dogs,not your spider webs, and lonesome looking pics.I take pics, of flowers,beaches,carousels,I don’t like your shaded, looking out the airplane wing pics at all!! Who wants to see the wires from a prop plane in the pics??Just ak us to send our pics to you! I can use the royalties!!.Lucy Baker says. At first I kind of liked it but the pics are often of cold dark places, of tunnels holes, making me feel like this is a very intrusive for of negative brainwashing, Lol!!
Almost none are just of a beautiful warm beach scene!!! I really dislike the cave hole looking out thing!! When I just read it was “Bing” who did these, it all made sense, Bing is so intrusive!! I detest Bing!

They spy on you to get info ant try to force you to look at certain things, I seriously don’t trust Bing, and I’m betting they are selling theinfo of which pics you look at, for the soul purpose of selling stuff (junk) to you! I get more garbage on this Version of Windows 10 than any other Version before!! Unload the Bing thing!!It’s a bi fat hairy monster!!My computer crashes a bunch of times a day, and sorry no, I don’t think it’s the server! It’s everytime a hostile bunch of junk (that says “Download this!”) or “Microsoft detects a problem,would you like us to fix it?” Yah, right, sure!! No way I will let you,Bing thingers touch my computer!!.Jerry says. Wow some of you really need to lay off the coffee. All these options can be turned on or off usually in settings.
You can also tell windows to just display a basic color. You can put your own pictures in a folder and tell windows just to use those.
You can do a google search and it will tell you how to set up your computer so it automatically logs you in at start up or you can do a registry hack. My only wonder is I use to get spotlight screens and it is still set for them but the screen hasn’t changed since a couple updates ago.Florisz says. This idiotic spotlight “Like what you see”/”Not a fan” NONSENSE.
Like the stupid feature actually listens! Some days it’s all I can do to scream at the screen. I don’t want the pics, I didn’t ask for these pics, I don’t want what I don’t choose for myself in the first place and my eyes and brain don’t give a shit about this new “improved” windows 10 thing. I don’t care about.stadiums. and.caves.
and a lone female silhouette running on a f.cking bridge. I’ve wasted so much time deleting, canceling and undoing that all I want are the old Windows 7 and 3.
By far superior to this load of click click click click click click BS.Roxanna Koester says. Photo shopped or not, I love seeing the pictures and the option to decline those that don’t appeal.
Thanks for recently supplying the info (on one sign-in) that tells where they were taken. I’d rather get new photos than a repeat–the pile of stones has reappeared from early November, when I’d rather see Christmas or a snow scene in December. I haven’t kept track–is each picture displayed for a certain number of days? As I prefer, most of the pictures I get are scenery–makes me want to go visit those places; can I get that cute little beaver in the log, too? Of all the frustrating things the computer does (or doesn’t do), the opening pictures are a lovely pick-me-up.
Thanks for adding this feature.just me! My comment is how to rid like what you see pictures i have my own. All windows 10 does which is the most annoying thing ever is make you take 2 or 3 more steps to do actions. Before one click got you where you wanted to be you did not have to look at the long list in the bar at top hope you can find what you need and then click 2 or 3 more times and then do your actions!!!!
