About this tag
Discussions tagged with randomization on WindowsForum.com cover two distinct areas: software behavior and security features. In the context of Windows 10 Classic Solitaire, users question whether card deals are truly randomized or drawn from a fixed set of pre-packaged games, noting apparent repetition over hundreds of games. On Windows 8.1, users report that the Start Screen apps automatically re-sort themselves into a random order after manual arrangement, causing frustration. Additionally, a thread addresses an update for Windows 7 that enhances the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) feature by adding ForceASLR, which improves system security against memory corruption exploits. These topics highlight user concerns about randomness in both user interface behavior and system-level protection.
