I have been using Windows since way back to Windows 3.1. I work for a communications company, and get training to do support for Windows OS. I realize Win 7 was probably the best and easiest to support MS operating system ever.
If you have Win 10 - Pro, you can go in to the Global Policy settings and make configurations to control the updates. There are ways to turn off or disable functions you do not want such as Cortana (I dislike Cortana for a PC). The annoying Welcome after updates can be turned off and disabled.
When I install Win 10, I do some configurations to increase performance. I turn off the features I don't want. I uninstall what I do not need. I liked IE which MS is abandoning. The new Edge is supposed to have an IE mode. The new Edge is a Chromium based browser. I have used it, but prefer Firefox and Google Chrome.
Win 10 is a bit of a dog to get set up for home networking. I managed to get things set up in my home network to have proper and efficient file sharing. I was able to get everything synced properly and have no issues. Making a domain at home would be ideal, but is too much work and not practical for a home network.
I have more opinions, but is too long to type in to an opinion...

I stop using window because, 1. I dont want to deal with window license anymore and 2. window 10 sucks... window 10 really over complicated alot of things... back in window 7, changing ip is rather simple, just open network and sharing and you can change your ip there... but in window 10, you open network and sharing, than ethernet and than look for the tiny link that say change adapter settings... bloody hell microsoft...
not to mention, why there is ad in my window 10 pro? installing window 10 is pain in the butt since you'll need to find all the notification and marketing stuff and turn it off.. I really wish my boss would allow me to install linux on all the company PC... but no, the sales people need microsoft office and the finance people need excel, he said...

Windows search should really be on this list. I'm noticing how still not a lot of people seem to care about windows having such a weak and outdated filesystem. I daily drive windows but it makes me crazy every time. I stopped using windows search alltogether. Mac os for instance has nailed this and my almost 10 year old macbook pro wins every time against my 6 months old windows build when searching a darn simple file. Just the fact that there are free programs out there like 'Everything' (my personal favorite) beating windows search by miles, makes you ask the question, how does it still suck sooooo hard in windows? ....

When -User Friendliness- means users should be friendly at all times, STFU, never complain, and be fankids about having bought from the biggest monopolist - too big to sue - on earth.
All vulnerabilities that got -accidentally discovered or uncovered- have been created by developers and programmers in the first place - without preventive quality monitoring from a security point of view, in order to -extend- as part of the -embrace, extend, kill- strategy. And the vulnerabilities never got uncovered by testers before code went to users? Is that why the testers have been fired?

.The most nasty part of Windows is the up dates, messing with the other software we have in our computers, recently after the last up date, Power Director 13 stopped detecting my mic, and an Audio Production Software I have, stopped working properly too, and now I am still trying to solve this mayor issues and I had dead lines on different projects I was working on, I hate Windows, but unfortunately all software I love is just for Windows, but I am starting my search to find alternatives in Linux to migrate to it -

-Running windows in VM with 1GiB of RAM:-
Windows XP: lightning fast
Windows 7: still fast, just a little slower
Windows 8: Not very good, pushing it to its limits
Windows 10 -x86:- slow crap and pushing it beyond its limits.
Also i can still do other things while running windows XP and 7, but when running 10, the CPU and RAM is maxed out 100% times, loading even explorer takes eternity.

I know this is an old video, but just recently switched a non-techy friend from windows to Linux Mint XFCE after their hard drive failed. They had a problem with a hacker, once, who hijacked their system through a game they were playing, and it was installed through the store. She was impressed by how much better her system ran compared to Windows 10, or even how it ran on Windows 7

I'm sick of Windows 8/10's unstable explorer. It works, but when i want to open ClassicShell menu on it 95% has to freeze before opening, in worse cases it just crashes.
Also just displaying context menus sometimes takes eternity to load.
Explorer was slow sh-t in Windows 8 and it stayed sh-t in Windows 10 :(

The issue is, that if you don't activate your Windows version, it practically becomes useless! another thing I've found is the MOST ANNOYING Group policy, which says -your settings have been managed by your organization-, which doesn't allow you to change some settings! It's like someone controlling your PC!

U might be slightly interested to know as a rare case that never got -addicted- to windows, even though every time I buy a machine with windows 10 installed, I try to give it a chance, I end up where I can't wait to replace it with Linux less than a half hour later.
