As far as i can tell:
1. resistance to change
2. difficulty adapting to changes
3. difficulty understanding why the changes are needed
4. irrational distrust of Microsoft.
5. difficulty troubleshooting the odd upgrade glitch
Really, Windows 10 is easily the best OS out there and will continue to improve. Microsoft will not suddenly turn around and revoke features or start forcing you to pay a subscription out of the blue, but the intention is to make an OS that is capable of being used indefinitely and can scale to whatever the future throws at it without needing to be replaced. Hell even if we go full Ghost in the Shell with eye implants as our computers, Windows 10 will still be a viable OS.
All of this. People are just being moronic about it. There's been data collection since XP, this is just the first time MS has actually been transparent about it. Honestly, you give just as much data or more to Google or Apple through your smartphone, so I don't get why those same people are up in arms over this (still). Personally, if some corporate number cruncher wants to see what furry porn I'm looking at, I don't really give a fuck.They hate Windows 10 because some people spread propaganda about being spied by Microsoft. They have been doing that since forever. It's not like they collect personal data to sell to shady companies, they just collect system reports to make updates and fix shit, usually.
Regedit is where you should go look at, things can be disabled, or forced. That's how I set up my OS, and I'm happy that wayI hate Windows 10 due to the power it takes away from power users. I don't need my computer overwriting my drivers with different versions without my consent, nor do I need Cortana always running when I don't use her. I appreciate being in control of what my computer does, and don't like it restarting whenever it damn well pleases without my consent. Additionally, I like having the ability to pick-and-choose updates.
Do note that my opinions were formed the first month after it came out. I don't know if these issues were worked around in later updates, as I reinstalled Windows 7 when I couldn't take it anymore. The drivers thing was actually the last straw for me. The official Asus trackpad drivers for my laptop absolutely suck, so I kept using official Elantech drivers. Windows 10 didn't like that, and kept overwriting them on a daily basis.
(Also, no operating system should come with adverts enabled by default.)
At the time when I had my drivers quandary, the official knowledgebase solution was to use a utility to disable driver updates temporarily (a fix that was said to revert weekly, iirc). The utility didn't even work, however -- an issue others echoed on forums at the time. In the end, the only way I could find to dodge driver updates was to completely disable Windows Updates. Again, this may have been fixed in a later update, but it was very off-putting for me at the start.Regedit is where you should go look at, things can be disabled, or forced.

Yeah same here, I stripped a few things, mostly Cortona and a few usesless things like Telemetry (omg spyware) and some system addons I never use. I'm in full control and that's very enjoyable. In my opinion, Windows 10 is their best version, by far, despite the forced upgrade from older versions.Oh yeah I did disable all their tracking stuff, I disabled Cortana, I followed various guides right from the start of setting up Windows 10, so as not to incur these little annoyances. Adding to that, removing most of their default apps. Once all that's stripped away, I think I did some tinkering with GodMode, there's really nothing else intrusive about Windows 10. I guess the flaw is having to remove its pest-like features, but after all that's done, it's just a mostly solid OS for me.
This opinion made me laugh.Really, Windows 10 is easily the best OS out there
I had much more blue screens with Windows 8 alone, compared to 7 and 10 combined. No joke.This opinion made me laugh.
The only best OS to exist is Windows 7. No useless "Windows Store" shit, no forced updates, nothing.
I can atleast game on it, unlike Windows 10 which suddenly shuts down with random blue screens.
Same lol. I would get 5-7 BSODs daily with Windows 8, for unknown reasons.I had much more blue screens with Windows 8 alone, compared to 7 and 10 combined. No joke.
I had one BSOD on my laptop, and I was the responsible for it, lol.
