This could be a scene from American Pie it's so cringeworthy

This could be a scene from American Pie it’s so cringeworthy…

An unfortunate computer user was left embarrassed after an update to Windows 10,which was released this week, on his PC left a graphic pornography slideshow playing on his screen… on repeat.

The user seems to have been a victim of a slightly questionable feature on Windows 10 which pulls images from your default pictures gallery and plays them in a loop on your screen.

The Reddit user was caught out by the unexpected slideshow, so much so that his wife even bore witness to the impressive collection of pornographic images he held his ‘pictures’ folder on the PC.

200-25

“Loaded up WIN 10 last night and left it on to do its thing,” wrote user FalloutBoS on Reddit. “Woke up to wife asking why I set it to rotate all my porn images right on the desk top view. I have no idea how to shut that feature off and that computer is staying shut down until I do.”

Just in case you’re the victim of a similar problem, which of course you aren’t (you use the internet to stream it you filthy divil), a simple way to turn off the slideshow feature is to right-click the slideshow and click ‘turn live tile off’.

Or else don’t save your private images for your special alone time, with yourself, in the default ‘pictures’ folder…

Hat-tip to the Independent.
