Latest Windows 10 scam

See my other reply on this. I remembered that this happened to me, too, and then I remembered what caused it. There are many optional settings in Windows OS. The Search option on the sign-in screen that you've described doesn't exist on any of my Win10 machines because I have disabled as much of Cortana as possible. If Cortana is active in your account, one can reasonably expect that clicking on a search option will activate Bing since that is MS' search engine. Yep, it's active on mine, but I don't really care. It doesn't get in the way, and I don't intentionally use it. One flip-side is that Rich initiates more photo-related topics than almost anyone else (most of those I ignore, too, btw). He does seem to take a beating around here that I don't understand, although I suppose there is some history that I'm not aware of. Even though his photo related posts seem to reliably bash something or other, even those negative posts can be quite useful. That, combined with his use of Windows OS could arguably make even the "OT" comments relevant to this ng, since it is not a stretch to think that he's using the OS for his photos, and any (real) OS problem could affect that use. I agree, but then I've done the same thing - posting about Windows issues, and there are a few others. I can't imagine that there is anyone here who does not use a computer heavily for photo work. It's not easy to work on digital images without a computer! ;-) As I see it, the issue is not so much posting about OS problems in this ng, it's verifying that it is a real problem before stating that it is, as in the subject line for this thread. IMO, such claims should be corrected to avert undue concerns by other users of the OS. Yeah, the subject line might have been a bit overdone. |

snip My reason for participating in Rich's topic is to give voice to those who realize that these are not OS problems at all, but unique to his computer. So, those who do photography and use Windows OS need not be concerned about such non-existent "scam" issues. While I use both my Win7 & Win 10 machines primarily for photography, I also use both for other purposes, and have never had the issue RichA describes. I put the machines in sleep mode. When I wake them, they are in the same state. -- PeterN |

I can't imagine that there is anyone here who does not use a computer heavily for photo work. there is, who shoots film and processes it in a darkroom. I remembered that there was at least one person who shoots film, but I also thought - for no good reason - that he also scanned and worked on those images, too. But maybe not. scanning a few photos is not 'use a computer heavily'. he also stated he uses his computer to run his business, not for photo work, which is not surprising since he uses linux and there aren't any photo apps that are suitable for anything beyond casual tweaks, and even that is a stretch. |

If you learn the meaning of capitalization your ridiculous comment would not even be witty by your standards. -- PeterN |

You seem to be arguing that small size is not an issue. it isn't. hundreds of millions of people edit photos every single day on displays that are 13" or smaller (usually *much* smaller), and it wasn't that long ago that 13" was not even considered small. and as i said, you can always attach a larger display when desired. I merely confronted you with the limit case. because you want to argue. your 'limit case' is an impossibility. |

How about PS or LR for an iPhone? works great. https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc...troom-mobile-i os.html you're still missing the point, as usual. How about for a 4s? what about it? the current versions of adobe's apps won't run on it anymore but older versions did. |
