One big reason might be Windows Home vs Professional licenses. I don’t see 80% of the crap Home license users complain about. The other 20% might be settings (I’ve turned everything off).
Even so Windows is getting plenty annoying nowadays, but it has been this way since Windows Vista. No, Windows 7 wasn’t all sunshine and roses either. And Windows 10 had the same issues (for those Windows 11 deniers).
I’d love to permanently switch to Linux, but it’s not there for me yet. At least in the areas of gaming (especially multiplayer) and part of my work (Software development in .NET, can’t beat a full fledged Visual Studio application so far. Rider has a subscription even for personal use, blegh).

This is on Windows 10 Enterprise
and you have an update ready to install on reboot? holy fucking fuck, that is not even remotely acceptable for an enterprise level operating system.
Someone didn’t dig far enough into the Settings Catalog (can’t say I blame them, there’s a lot there) and turn those off up the ladder. https://www.anoopcnair.com/disable-windows-spotlight-suggested-content-in-settings-using-intune/ This was one of the first policies I pushed out through Intune. Not one Suggested notification on our Windows machines since!
Sheesh. Then maybe it’s a US vs EU topic? A lot of things that fly in the US wouldn’t fly inside the EU without huge fines.
