I only know about CVE-2013-3900 (WinVerifyTrust) which allows modified files to pass signature check unless you tweak registry to enable patches.

I think there must be other instances like this where Microsoft won’t fix vulnerability or chooses insecure defaults, is there a list?

Highly depends on your definitions of the words "vulnerabilities," "Windows," and "patched." By Microsoft's definitions of these words, the answer would be no.
