The 10% that annoys me is mostly around the way update works. If you have long running processes (like security camera DVR software, big render jobs, etc...) having the OS decide to reboot in the middle of the night is a bit of a headache. I know you can disable the update service, but it would be nice if they just put that in the windows update UI.
The other part that bugs me are the re-appearing bloatware apps like 3d builder, weather, contacts, xbox, groove music, etc.... The flipside of the reappearing apps issue is Microsoft uninstalling my VPN client. They don't think it's compatible with W10, but it works perfectly for me so I have to reinstall it every time.
To get back on topic though, Microsoft's Azure is fantastic. The earnings boost is well deserved.
At least only major service-pack level updates actually cause everything to install/reinstall. It's kind of funny how Microsoft has their official "one version of Windows" marketing when there are clearly different versions with difficult names ("anniversary update").
But I laugh at your comment because I, as well, spent a day uninstalling the re-installed bloatware apps and re-installing my VPN client.
You completely misunderstood the whole point. The one windows does not imply it is one thing which runs on many thing , not at all. one windows whole point is you can use same design/API for your program and target as many device as possible, kinda like Java.(but not compile once , run everywhere part)
Sorry I meant the "Windows 10 is the last version of Windows" marketing. The anniversary update was a whole new version of Windows and not just part of continuous stream of updates.
I disabled Windows Update service on my laptop which is using Windows 10. Search for Services, scroll down to Windows Update, disable the service. I live in a country with very expensive data bundles. I simply can't afford to keep Windows Update service on.
We did this for our QA team because of our organization's configuration management policies. Previously Microsoft updates would install broken drivers for their test equipment.
