I am taking bets as to how long it takes "The Clever Ones" to "fix" the windows 10 monitor issue ‪#‎windows10‬ ‪#‎gnfbcomment‬

Sheesh... We've been asking for mind-reading since Win 3.11 and you still haven't delivered it? That's it. I'm installing Linux.

They are working on it.
It will have to be a hidden feature, as allready there are so many complaints about
MS 'reading' other stuff on the PC   :-)

Perhaps if google or Android do the mind reading app first, there will be less room to complain when MS do it .

Good post. No explanation, no link to an explanation or even hint at what this is about. Hashtags mean nothing and Google turns up nothing either.  I genuinely can't figure out if you're referring to something to do with computer monitors (i.e. screens) or it's some tinfoil hat post about windows monitoring users...??

To get a couple of games working, I had to change which was listed as my Primary Monitor etc, is that perhaps what you are referring to ?

I hope you are this vigilant with Android OS, Chrome browser, Facebook and Apple Siri too

be warned that some of those free tools have adware bundled in them.

Or worse...  wouldn't trust any of them TBH. Much the same way as I wouldn't trust pirated software downloaded from the internet :p
