  • Forcing you to reboot to install updates, sometimes interrupting a download or something just because it knows best
  • Ads creeping in all over the place
  • More and more "features" you don't want and never asked for
  • AI being shoved in your face
  • Surveillance everywhere
  • Constantly trying to push you to use "Edge" instead of your chosen browser
