Intrusive new features that piss me off.
REMOVING MY PROGRAMS which is none of MS business what I have on my PC.
Totally disabled Windows Defender and Disabled Smart Screen.
When MS goes beyond their charter is when I get pissed.

Then it decided to check my hard drives for the last 4 boots stating diskchk or some crap.
What that means to me is delete my crap and every time.
Also, you can't turn that crap off unless you go in and disable the dirty bit or some crap I did 10 years ago.

Microsoft needs to get out of the automation business and just deliver a bug free OS.
What gets me is 7 had it's share but didn't crash or bug the hell out of me every time I booted.
Plus it looked like a fantastic work of art unlike this sterile operating room that they call Windows 10.

Notice I like saying CRAP a lot.

If you select "keep files and apps" only thing removed is for the stability of the install/OS. God forbid they want your system to be stable!

I like the new features of removing all the links to my programmes and also my network machines.

Such hostility. And all because you completely misunderstand how Windows Upgrades work.

Microsoft does not "remove" applications. When you upgrade the OS, it is not doing an in-place upgrade. It is actually installing a new instance of the OS, and the setup program migrates applications that it knows about, and knows are safe. That means any apps that the setup program did not know about won't get migrated. Any app or version of an app that MS knows has issues (even if you think it works fine) won't get migrated.

In other words, the problem is not MS uninstalling anything, it's that it's not copying the app to your new installation.

Ain't that the truth Donald! It not only opens sites fast now, it renders them really quick, even if there are a bunch of videos or ads.

I'm talking about how long you have to wait before you can scroll down on a freshly loaded page...

The line spacing in the dark menus looks horrible and needs to be reduced.

Agreed ... I like the new version, it always best to do a clean install, if one can and has the time

The link, when enabled, needs to be large enough to accommodate any engaging device, including 'fat' fingers or thumbs, on any device.
(If that's what you're talking about)

Not a new feature but appears to have been brought back from W7 - you can once again adjust your Screen Saver, Sound, Colour etc within 'Themes'....
