Windows 10 is a mess that makes no real sense. You have to google how to find settings that are tucked away in a completely unintuitive corner somewhere. They change and add things without telling you about them and you have to hope that someone else had the same problem and has figured it out already.

My Windows 10 was freezing up at the desktop on about 1 in 5 boots. Restarts after an error were even worse, as the OS would hang before ever making it to the interface. Turns out the problem was a new Windows 10 speed startup setting that was set to ON as a default. I didn't even know about this and had to trawl through forum posts about other people having the same trouble.

Microsoft makes changes based on whatever theme they're going for, not based on what people really want. They change and go back or throw in something new just because that's what they want. WHY does my start menu have to look like a mobile phone? I loved what I had with Windows 7, why can't I have that back? Why have you taken colors away from window frames?

As far as Microsoft web structure, dear lord. I used to work with Microsoft and so many of their internal links are broken or outdated. Their knowledge base is like a landfill. The thing is, Microsoft rebrands so often and it leaves their links in a state of mixed up chaos that takes forever to get fixed, if at all. It's just so massive that you can easily stumble over something that takes you down a dead end. I remember times where my internal information was way behind the information already given to the public, which is kind of funny.
