They keep messing with all the wrong things. In no particular order...

  • Cortana
  • moving task bar to the center
  • control panel vs Settings app
  • Live Tiles
  • forcing Microsoft account
  • "New" Teams
  • OneDrive Documents/Desktop folder hijacking
  • Bing forced into the start menu
  • ADS!
  • Windows Recall
  • Context menu extra clicks
  • Search still can't find shit
  • Paint 3D
  • Photos app
  • XBox game bar
  • Windows updates

I didn't mind these. But it's not important what I think as I don't use Windows anymore.

They're fine if they aren't half baked. That's the problem. There are still UI elements in windows from like, windows 98. There are still settings I can't find in the new windows settings or print UI. Which they keep forcing on me.
