Microsoft Has Broken Millions of Webcams with Windows 10 Anniversary Update
It also switched my default web browser from Firefox to Edge and replaced the Firefox icon I&#x27;d pinned to my taskbar with an Edge one in the same position. Switching back required clicking a small link on an extra scare prompt buried in the control panel where the large, default button was to stick with Edge. No wonder its market share seems to be ticking up.<p>In addition the update cleared a bunch of my settings, including silently switching on some of the privacy-questionable features I&#x27;d opted out of previously. The update process itself wasn&#x27;t pleasant, either: while I was away from my desk my laptop woke up from sleep, threw away everything I had open (including a running VM instance, risking data corruption), and launched into a patching process that cost me nearly an hour of work time.<p>I understand the importance of automatic updates security-wise, but Microsoft seems to be actively user-hostile here.<p>&lt;&#x2F;rant&gt;
