How come they don't update the scheduler in Windows 10 to support Intel's processors? Also, from what I have read the biggest changes are UI based and some new

  A lot of people aren't aware of this but Win10 is in maintenance mode and has been for quite some time. Not only do they not backport new features but they also don't always backport important bug fixes either (except for security obviously). Win11 is probably an opt-in upgrade due to the UI changes. The idea of Win10 being the last version ever was nice, but if all upgrades happen automatically you can't make any serious UI changes because people hate stuff just suddenly changing on them when they don't expect it. Note that Apple never made any move as bold as removing versions, and they were able to continue making UI changes as a consequence in each version. People moan, the people who don't like it don't upgrade, and eventually have to pick between support or upgrading but they're never forced so the blowback is minimal. The idea of Win10 being the last version seems to have come from web apps which aren't visibly versioned. But the same problem crops up there, hence why big UI changes on sites like Gmail, Reddit etc have to fork the frontend codebase - sometimes for years.

  Oh my and if they would finally fix that darn printing spooler which hangs exactly in the same way since Windows 3.1 with undeletable jobs and can't find a printer to save its life when you hop wireless networks...
