Umm I was asking this question before.. got the answer from someone replying here, but I forgot as it's quite complicated @_@

You need to go here and there, change the advance permissions stuffs, etc... can't remember which post it was though

OK i found a solution. Start + R (for Run) and type 'gpedit.msc' (without quotes obviously). Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Logon and choose from the right 'Hide entry points for Fast User Switching' and Enable it. :D

you know while we are on the gpedit.msc I have a question: On my network pc at work, I had to edit some options to allow me the ability to change my screensaver, visual style, and other features.. (Its ok network admin gave me access to modify this file) anyways one thing I can not change is my desktop wallpaper.. Does anyone know what entry it is that I need to modify in order to unlock the ability to change my wallpaper?

You can unlock it by going to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop > Desktop Wallpaper. Read the explanation tab before applying any changes. Specifies the desktop background ("wallpaper") displayed on all users' desktops. That's what it says on the first line.

    • My home system is a 5800X (upgraded from 2700X) with a 7800 XT. I can't comment as to why you feel so strongly about the differences, but I have used both Windows 10 and 11 for literally thousands of hours each; I'd guess over 10,000 hours on Windows 10 and maybe half that on Windows 11. Earlier builds of Windows 11 had some pretty big UI lag issues, which did annoy me, but not enough to go back to Windows 10. 23H2 and forward have corrected all those issues for me and I have no complaints at all at this time. Let me clarify what I meant by "Windows 11 runs perfectly fine." I don't mean it is merely acceptable; I mean that I don't perceive a difference between it and Windows 10. I chose the word "fine" because I don't believe that either 10 or 11 are perfect in that area and both have the rare UI hiccup, but in my experience, their responsiveness is at the same level.

    • Maybe you don't realize this...but everything you said agreed with me. Yes, many tech outlets reported on Ryzen 9000 issues prior to 24H2, which I already addressed, and as I already said, that issue only existed for a few short months. Ryzen 9000 was released the same quarter of 2024 as 24H2. So again...months, not years. I also already said 24H2 showed some minor improvements on older Ryzen CPU. The article you posted agrees with me, and even says the improvements were only 3-5%, which is even more petty an amount than I estimated. If you want to fuss on the 3-5% numbers, then yes, I will grant you that was an issue for an extended amount of time. In my opinion, that is such a small amount it isn't worth fussing over, but you are welcome to a different option. However, if that was your point, then you didn't make that point in good faith, because you highlighted Ryzen 9000 so much, which had a FAR bigger and FAR shorter issue, it's really a very different conversation.
