One thing that worries me about updates--any kind of MS updates--is that I don't want them to change all my tweaks and customizations back to their defaults. For this reason, I've learned my lesson with 7, from which I upgraded, and, for that matter, XP. I created a folder, "Windows 10 Tweaks," where I've been saving all my Windows 10 tweaks. So when my nightmare comes true, I just open the folder and start executing my tweaks. No more going crazy trying to find all those little adjustments!

How did you get your background color black?

A quick Registry modification:

Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize
in the right pane, click an empty space, choose New>DWORD (32-bit) Value
name it AppsUseLightTheme
give it a Value of 0

Close Registry Editor.
Change takes place immediately.

I just want them to fix the Outlook hyperlink to IE11 as the default browser problem. Then I would convert my other two PCs to Windows 10 and be done with it.

I really hate having to use Firefox as my default browser just to bypass this problem.

Just because you have to do an extra click to open the link? It's slightly annoying yes, but not major enough to make me use another browser.
