Yes, correct. Fortunately, I never have any icons except My Computer and Recycle Bin on the desktop. I use the Start Menu or Quick Launch option of the taskbar, so I don't need to go back to the desktop to launch a program.
The one thing I find *much* more annoying is that Windows 10 resets your font size when docking and undocking. When undocked the screen is at 125%, but when docked, it's at 100%. However, I was used to setting the font sizes to 11 (up from 9) as well, but when docking/undocking, Windows 10 resets that size to 9 each time. I consider that to be a bug.
I also consider it asinine that MS has removed the option to change window colors and font types (and many sizes) from the options. It's still possible, to some extent, through the registry or tweaking programs, but officially, the options are gone. That, combined with the current fad of huge titles and tiny body text in dialog screens make Windows 10 often very much harder to use than Windows 7.
As someone working IT however, I can't afford to just stick with an operating system that has been superseded by three versions already.
