Now Microsoft puts adverts on your PC's Lock Screen

摘要

Microsoft has started to show adverts on the Lock Screen in Windows 10 using its controversial 'Spotlight' feature. Normally the Lock Screen displays landscape photos, which change every time you lock and unlock your PC. But some users have reported that these have been replaced by adverts for the computer game Rise of the Tomb Raider (see screenshot right). Clicking the advert takes you to the Windows Store, where you can buy the game. It's the latest attempt by Microsoft to make money by placing adverts within Windows 10. There are likely to be many more adverts to follow, as Microsoft aims to recoup some of the revenue it lost by making the operating system a free download.
