📎 AI Summary: The forum discussion revolves around the drawbacks of Windows 10, with the original poster asking about its disadvantages. A respondent notes the issue of forced updates as a common concern but acknowledges recent improvements allowing users to defer updates. Overall, Windows 10 is seen as a significant redesign that has both positive and negative aspects, with some users considering it generally superior to previous Windows versions.
I would say the drawbacks for Windows 10 specifically are
A lot of people have an issue with the forced updates although Microsoft has been relaxing that in recent and upcoming releases including the ability to defer updates up to 35 days on Windows 10 home (personally I'm glad they are forcing updates as many home users tend not to patch their systems).
Windows 10 is a complete rework of most of the underlying systems (good and bad). Good in that Microsoft finally gutted a lot of the legacy code which (bad) makes legacy software less likely to work.
Otherwise I'd say Windows 10 is superior to it's predecessors.
