Wn10's tile menu isn't a transcendent horror, and i can deal with it.

But when win10 reintroduced the Start Menu after trying ti kill it in Win8.1, they did the typical MS thing and fixed what wasn't broken. Every Windows release makes changes to the UI, requiring the user to relearn it, and find out where Windows put a particular setting this time. Win10 diddled the Start Mene and moved things around.

There was a simple fix for that - an open source utility called Classic Shell. By default, the classic shell menu looks and acts like the Win7 start Menu. If you want the tiled menu, it's a click away, but I normally don't.

My big peeve is Win10's virtual windows facility. The good part is it's built-in. The bad part is minimal configurability. I used to use a third-party virtual screen utility that would display the windows as thumbnails in the Task Bar, and selecting which I wanted to view was a mouse click away. That's irretrievably broken on Win10.

And while there are other virtual window managers out there that still work, none directly integrate with Win10, and i have yet to see a new third-party window manager built for Win10.
