Now there is a stupid idea.
Fill your computer storage with screenshots you can’t delete.
Can we bring back the “Blue Screen of Death”
At least we know how to fix it.

“Fill your computer storage with screenshots you can’t delete.”

aren’t you assuming that these screen shots are actually being stored locally, vs. being sent to MS cloud storage?

There is a program called rollback rx where it takes snapshots, and can “rollback to any saved point” in order to fix a computer that has been infected by virus or ransomeware, or just got messed up. It could either take snapshots automatically, or manually, and the user could delete snapshots at anytime (but you had to be sure to do so as it would fill hard drive quickly )

Was a great program which really saved my bac9n several times back in the day when viruses were rampant and browsers didn’t catch them.

Howver- not sure that this article snapshot idea is the same principle, and no waywould I sent Microsoft any info intentionally - they are getting far too intrusive.
