I see a few comments trying to forgive Windows 10 “now” because certain things aren’t true “anymore” or lousy features can technically be turned off, etc. but those excuses do not hold up:
- The initial Windows 10 launch and forced-update scheme was completely botched. It directly caused major problems and cost users incredible amounts of money that Microsoft didn’t have to cover at all! (Examples: Business interruptions. Personal data losses and/or broken apps. Data-plan costs for downloading and re-downloading bloated updates over slow and/or expensive connections. Buying replacement hardware if things are broken and people don’t know what else to do.)
- Terrible defaults are inexcusable. Most people will not know that they should change things, or know how. Windows Updates can reverse settings anyway so even if you get your friends and family to fix an obnoxious setting once, it may not persist.
- This was produced by a massive company that had the resources to spend to do this properly. They should have spent those resources.
