That only took several years of complaining.

...and they didn't actually listen. This is still user-hostile bullshit and some people at Microsoft really need to be beaten with a rubber hose until they get it through their heads that they don't own our devices.
Even as a vocal critic of Linux Desktop I feel that Microsoft is doing its best to push me there. Hell, most of the computers I own have already been transitioned to Lubuntu[0] because otherwise I'm faced with forced update garbage every time I turn them on.
> Microsoft is also working to ensure the quality of this feature update, which is important given the disastrous two feature updates that Microsoft and its users experienced in 2018.
Maybe actually having QA or at least listening to the Insiders you've conned into doing QA for you for free would have helped prevent these things, but I doubt it because you seem so determined to copy the worst aspects of web and OSS development culture. User hostility, change for the sake of it, users are QA, ads (in a paid product!) etc.
[0]Lubuntu still prompts me to update it literally every time I turn it on too, but at least I can just say no.
