Pretty much the title. Windows keeps thinking I really care about whatever desktop image it decided to pick even if I’m in the middle of playing a game.

I just saw 3 windows 11 post back to back about it slowing down games, the pc, now this
Unrelated but based for playing the first KCD
Really hoping someone help you with solutions because this shit really starts to annoy me. Also kcd1 nice game
You should re-install Windows 11 with an unattented files that debloated windows and remove all useless services that slown down your PC
or switch to Linux
I am almost 100% sure it will stop if you change it to your own desired wallpaper.
An image downloaded from google, or a picture taken with your own camera.
Whatever it is, except Windows own wallpaper choice.
KCD 1 is peak
Windows every time a game starts: “Hey did you fucking know HDR exists and I can do it and am in fact currently doing it and there is absolutely no need for me to keep pestering you about it?!”
To disable Windows Spotlight, you need to change the background settings for both the lock screen and desktop. For the lock screen, go to Settings > Personalization > Lock screen and change the background from “Windows Spotlight” to “Picture” or “Slideshow”. Similarly, for the desktop, right-click on the desktop, select Personalize, and in the Background section, ensure that “Picture” or “Slideshow” is selected.
Switch to linux
Windows 10 and 11 both do this to some capacity. There are debloating scripts you can run but I personally don’t trust any of them and they can sometimes break your install. I hate to be that person but Linux is always an option if it bugs you that much.
dude honestly windows has gotten so annoying especially with their new AI stuff, I literally bought a Mac. Windows has seriously become the most annoying software to use I can’t handle it anymore
Raven debloater worked for me
I’ve been using dynamic theme, gives you the backgrounds without the ads
Ltsc and kill defender + ms autoupdate. Use common sense and install only the needed updates (manual updates, the usual KB stuff). Can easily last you 4+ years without a single bsod. I am running latest 10 ltsc since 2022 (support till 2030 so dont worry windows police), and can install 11 ltsc now thats its available, but feel no urge cuz dx 12 and rtx all work under 10 just fine
Use Debian
Look up, Windows Utilities by Chris Titus. I run it after every Windows install to get rid of things like that. There’s even an option to add the classic context menu to save you that extra click.
Since I always debloat my windows, I always find it funny that I keep discovering new things Windows 11 does on this sub. Debloat your windows my dudes, it’s not hard.
What is that? I’ve never seen that before.
You install a Linux distro of your liking.
Hey, Henry’s come to see us!
Go for Linux
I use Ghost Spectre, the risk of backdoors is a thing, but I only read positive reviews and the ability to have your own firewall still exists.
I haven’t had any issues with windows 11 and gaming personally. I adjusted the settings to look and feel as close to 10 as I could
You could use a less intrusive operating system!
Google O&O ShutUp, it doesn’t install anything and basically turns off every single bs from windows you can imagine.
Unironically I just recommend people to switch over to Linux.
While it’s a meme, it really is the only course of action unless you’re willing to go the Apple route.
Windows is progressively getting more shitty by the year. I find no enjoyment when I use it
I recommend Linux Mint :3
u change to linux…
The Linux fanboys crawling out of their cave (no hate srsly)
