For wasting my SSD space with programs that are forced installed by Microsoft which are placed in the Remove Programs menu to further taunt me over the fact they cannot be removed.

For installing updates and drivers I don't want updated. Then rebooting my computer when I do not want it to. It is in the middle of a long task and my data gets corrupted .

Constantly reverting my preferences...
And as above, too. Installing utter trash that I do not want.

1) Stripping OpenGL out of the Nvidia drivers that are Pushed out onto users. 2) Pushing out the newest drivers, especially Nvidia --> Newest is Not always the most stable
3) Forcing updates, even when MS has received documentation that they cause major issues for some end users; before they Fix / create a workaround 4) When MS own built-in "feature" does not work - Like --> do not update my drivers --- (yes, there are workarounds to stop MS - much harder for Home users)

Wow Guessing many of you have been using Gmail, Chrome and google for years but are still worried about spying from MS? (I worry about them all) hee hee But yes the reverting settings is crazy, and the auto install of programs suggested for me Android and iOS style is also frustrating. But this is the new normal so I guess I just do not let it get to me. (or at least that is what I tell myself as I put my laptops across the street) I long ago stopped auto driver updates. I do run Pro as much as I can. When Win10 is working right I love it when it is not it is still not as bad as the old days of blue screens and memory dumps so I am still mostly a happy camper.

There is another major update coming in October. Hopefully it will be stable.

The flat looking gui. Forced updates. All the extra "apps' included with it that I'll never use. Spyware like Cortana.

MS is sounding and acting more like Garbage Useless Google Play. I went from my trusty(stable) iPhone SE to a Samsung S9 and now just hate the phone and Google Play/Android is pure garbing. Ill be going back to iPhone, its just ridiculous whats they charge for phones now. My point, I dont want this always on, half baked crap on my desktop. Its Windows, not a phone. You want my data, you can steal it like Google does.....

1. "You have an update available! Would you like to install it right now or automatically in 10 minutes." 2. Trying to adjust settings and accidentally pulling up the Windows 10 version of what I was looking for. Like, typing devices and printers to configure my new printer and it brings up the weird menu instead of the one we've been using since Windows 2000. 3. Once inside said new menus, not being able to right click and find properties or advanced info without going through 10 more menus. 4. Installing crapware like Candy Crush without my permission. 5. Converting my local account to an online account because i logged into the store using my Microsoft account. (For the love of god this is an awful thing to do) 6. Repeating number 5 because there is no good way to unconvert your account. I ended up reformatting my computer.

Using up precious storage space with hidden updates. It's been a constant struggle to find what Microsoft is downloading that takes up my storage space when it never asked.

Is it really this bad? I'm still using Win7 and looking forward to upgrading to 10. If it is, lets just hope the October update will fix most of this.

As long as Windows 10 Forces updates hardware and software and upgrades of the OS it will never be fixed. They need to Dump Window Apps and go back to the Style of Windows Updates that are now in Windows 7. Windows Apps would not be so bad if they did not Force Installs of their Junk Software and allow us to Check for update and not Get Updates. Allow the End User to Check and Select what Window Apps they want and What Windows Updates to download and allow the simple Right Click Hide an Update whether a Graphics Diver or a Security Update or any Windows Update Type.

Only in an alternate universe would a Windows Update improve Windows 10. The problem with Windows 10 is it treats the customer as an idiot. It does things because Microsoft believes that you are too dumb to do them on your own under your own intent. Further, Microsoft exploits that to further their own goals. Microsoft does not update Windows 10 to make it better for customers, it updates Windows 10 to make it better for Microsoft and it's partners.

I hate it because its dummy proof 😈
T hose who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way. Affiliate Code: 3T15O1S07G

I downloaded a racing game demo the other day and it has to run off the XBOX app. It wanted me to log into my Microsoft account in order to play the game, no option to play with local account. I don't have a Microsoft account, nor do I want one, so I just closed it and said to heck with it.

You're welcome, bcav. Kram, some things need you to be logged into the Store to download and run them, but your user account can stay as a local account. Some apps you can download through the Store as a guest (not logged in through the Store). I bought State of Decay 2 a few months ago so I needed to be logged in. And, some apps just insist you be logged in even when they're free.
