Excerpt:
"Tablet view is showing saved porn images," wrote Reddit user "FalloutBos."

"Woke up to wife asking why I set it to rotate all my porn images right on
the desktop view. I have no idea [how] to shut that feature off and that
computer is staying shut down until I do."

FalloutBos had started downloading Windows 10 onto his computer the night
before, and it seems the new OS reached down into his "My Pictures" folder
and created a slideshow.
<...>
  However, the criticisms aren't limited to angst over technical issues.

Privacy-minded users have complained about the huge amount of personal
data the OS gathers and sends to Microsoft.

Users who click "Express Settings" during installation apparently give
Windows 10 permission to access their contacts, calendar details, text and
touch input, location data and other information, which it sends to
Microsoft.

The company uses the information for personalization and targeted ads.
