    You can’t even install Windows (local account) these days without answering 3 of these. If you ever click on one of the recovery options, you’ll be asked for one of them.

    My solution is usually to just randomly smash the keyboard for a while.

      The worst about those is that they only give you 6 questions to choose from, and all of them are really bad as security questions.

      They should have had a list of at least 20 to choose from. Preferably the ability to enter your own as well.

        No, cause it’s at work and not my choice. It’s also just one example of many. I don’t run Windows on any of my own PCs any more.

          My sympathies. It was meant very much tongue in cheek, hence ;} (I’m sure there’s an emoji, but I don’t think I will :)
