4 THINGS I HATE ABOUT WINDOWS

Windows 10 has improved a lot since its 2015 release, but it has a long way to go

DESIGN:

Starting off number one is Design
With Windows 10, Microsoft has combined the bests of Windows 7 and 8. But the design inconsistencies are all over the UI. Windows should change its approach from concentrating more on clean and flawless UI than customization features.

PRIVACY AND DATA CONTROL:

Alt Text

It seems to me that the biggest Flaw that many people point to on Windows 10 is Privacy and Data control and also the forced updates, especially combined with poor quality control on those updates. You probably have heard that windows 10 "spy" on you and collects all sorts of information. Even if its a rumor but it will affect us.

CORTANA:

Alt Text
Another reason is Cortana, I don't know a single person who uses Cortana only while using a computer. Instead, all of us use google assistant more. Even windows also ignore it they won't improve it or advertise it to encourage us to use it. Cortana doesn't have any unique features comparing with other voice assistants. As of now, Cortana has a long way to go to even stand a chance against google assistant or any other

RESTARTING ISSUES:

Alt Text

Everyone knows that if you have a problem with your computer the first thing everyone does is try to turn it OFF and ON again. But it doesn't solve anything once we shut down the system windows 10 will not close all the processes but instead, it will move the process and other stuff from the main memory to the hard drive. So when the computers will restore lots of same processes again.
So to close everything out and fix something its better to restart because that will actually clear everything out from the memory.

Not using it since Windows8 but run into Windows on my kids gaming PC :) Was and still is: updates!!!!!!!!, bloatware, privacy. To add a new one: it's becoming more and more complex to avoid using MS Account and use local user/login. Latest method is just ridiculous and requires you to unplug the net and pretend server cannot be reached, in order to get that option.
