In my view, they're really digging their own grave at the moment.

A lot of frustration, such strong dislike, but seriously, I have to agree with you about all the unnecessary restrictions in Windows 10. Nobody wants their preferences forced upon them. Yet, I think the rest is just minor complaints. Remember, a company can't design for every single need or scenario. Windows 10 was built with the average user in mind, which means a lot of customization options are removed to keep things simpler—not more complex.
They usually stop working until they change the branding, since 10 feels like an updated version of 8. It seems they’re not quite getting it right. 7 was a rebranded Vista that solved the problems and moved to the next XP version, but 10 is still a weak point.
I support the catering on most aspects, though the UI design clearly lacks justification for such divisions. Edit: forced a Windows update which took me a full day just to remove my bios from secureboot, restore 3 image backup files I had, update them, and then discovering that multi-boot didn’t work with the restored images.
In reality, the unofficial copies of Windows 10 were initially just as acceptable as the official versions. The upgrade process didn’t seem to matter much, and they still faced driver problems on Windows 10 along with some problematic updates. You can’t simply ignore these issues without disabling updates altogether, so it remains an incomplete release.
I've been using Windows 10 continuously and experienced very few issues that changed things. The same goes for Windows 8/8.1, 7, and Vista—other systems with Windows 10 seem stable, though they might have been built by different companies. It could be me being an outlier or this just reflects people who aren't happy enough to stay silent.
I express my concerns about the direction MS is heading. There seems to be an effort to secure their platform, which could make Windows less useful. My feelings toward Windows 10 are mixed—I appreciate its quick startup and the new settings menu, even though it doesn’t cover everything. I find the Microsoft Account activation process convenient for reinstalling. The shared game licensing between Windows 10 and Xbox is a positive move for users of both systems. However, I’m bothered by the tracking of users and the practice of selling to the highest bidder. There are many bugs, especially with the start menu malfunctions and the disk usage issue that popped up before Windows 10 was released. I remember hearing rumors it would become a subscription model, but it didn’t. It seems Microsoft is shifting from being a software provider to a service company, which makes me worry they’ll keep pushing for more revenue. To be honest, I might explore Linux after graduation as a backup option if MS changes its approach.
Case and point me, this is very much the truth but it has always been the truth for all their OSs so if more people are complaining about the newer OS than the old one then their is a problem to some extent, what % of people have issues idk but I don't know a single person irl that hasn't had some issue with it for as little as that means. It seems most issues can be attributed to the way 10 handles graphics and legacy software, the driver related issues for certain hardware like wifi cards or their lack of complete testing on some updates
It has been observed that some driver developers have altered the certification procedure: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewt...0/?p=40373. If a developer in today's world continues to attempt to bypass the certification process, then driver problems will follow naturally. However, this isn't Microsoft's responsibility. While I would say it's quite clear, it's actually not feasible.
I handle many computers and Windows 10 has worked well for those with up-to-date systems. I rely on it every day for work and gaming, and my girlfriend shares the same experience—no problems there. I worry about privacy, but even offline, people track your purchases online, you’re recognized via facial scans near major buildings, and there are concerns about glass houses.
