I don't mind it rebooting when I'm not using it
Gentlepeople... have you not learned anything?Computers are relation-oriented. You sit by them and hold their hand when they do a critical update. You are there for them when they do their first backup. You buy them the most expensive security updates you can afford.
If you're not willing to invest in your relationship, then why should they? They may as well give up on you.
So go out and buy some nice flowers for your computers now. Cuddle up with them and help them through their next update. Because they are worth it, and you don't want them quitting on you.

Not Windows 10 but this one's on Asus.
The 1TB drive apparently came pre-partitioned into two drives: C: (OS) and D: (DATA).
C: is a measly 100GB (since hey all you need is the OS), and the other 900GB are dedicated to storing all my DATA.
Got a "low disk space" warning. What? How?
Well, guess which drive all the OS default libraries are put on... including "Downloads"?
-
@Lorne-Kates Humm... my current company used to split 100GB partition for OS, but the guideline have been changed to 250GB last year.
Given not only OS files are stored there but also the MSOffice update files, you shouldn't set the system partition to this low in size.
Fortunately I think Win10 supports volume resizing if your hardisk is converted to dynamic disk (try to ignore the Ads there, the screenshot and steps provided to find the options is good), so you can try to see if you can resize there.There are cases where you cannot with this tool.

Oh, here's a Windows 10 one.
I want you to picture a calendar, and how you interact with it. Any old electronic calendar since, y'know, forever.
Okay, you want to change months right. You can already picture the UI. In fact, imagine you were vocalizing the action. I bet it would be "Go back a month" or "Go forward a month".
And the UI would be left and right arrows, since that is how we humans picture "back and forth".
O WAIT LET'S FUCK UP EVEN THIS MOST BASIC THING!

At least now it's consistent with the scrollwheel. It would be consistent with PgUp and PgDn if those still worked.
(Neither 7's nor 10's calendars scroll when I scroll horizontally, btw)But yeah, it's unintuitive.

Most cheap Win10 tablets have 32GB and they work fine with Office.
But yes, Windows is designed to store everything in a single partition. Pretty annoying that they still don't let you move your %UserProfile% folder.

Heck, my HTPC only has 40 and it works well enough. More is better, though.

Also annoying are applications that shove all of their data into the profile folder without giving you a way to tell them to put it somewhere else. :(

Well, storing data ("internal" data, as opposed to files which are meant to be copied around by users) is something that 99.9% of applications do. So it seems to me like that's a problem that should be handled by the OS. Otherwise you're making every single developer duplicate the work of adding an interface to tell it where to store the data.

My main complaint is application developers' decisions to consider user data "internal" rather than "user" and thus not provide it in a user-facing file. Instead they write everything to a hidden folder in your profile folder. I have a couple of these now, and I wonder why they even bothered to write a Windows application. If you want to lock up all of our data, you might as well make a crappy web version.
The other situation is where common data files (or the entire application!) that, ideally, would be shared between all users on the same computer are dumped into the profile folders. Generally the developers do that just so they know they can write to the install folder and so now we're back to where we were when Program Files had no "protection" at all.
I agree that moving the profile folders should be easier, but I think application developers should be less lazy too. :(

Largely because the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry hive loads from a hidden file in the root of your user profile directory.There are fully supported (if not necessarily intuitive or well exposed) ways to move any or all the library folders, including Downloads, to another volume.

There is an app called 3D Builder that comes with Windows. I don't want it, so I tell it to uninstall.
When I right click an image in Windows Explorer, there is a context menu option to "3D Print with 3D Builder".
Click it and the app opens in half a second.
Right click OneDrive.
Chose uninstall.
Windows opens up "Uninstall a Program".
You know what isn't in the list? OneDrive.
I swear to fuck I'm going to film myself destroying this fucking OS.

Install BonziBuddy (which is apparently still possible)

Replace every system font with Comic Papyrus

Install anything that comes up when you search "free game download"

I don't see the problem.

Things seem to have gotten better since then. I have a machine on fast ring builds - pinning and removed store applications actually behave now. (No longer have to uninstall GetOffice every fucking update!)

Now we play "Chrome fuckup" or "Windows 10 fuckup". Ties will be broken by that ynotboth girl.
I load a page in Chrome 53.0.2785.143 m (64-bit).
I hover over a hyperlink (fake edit OR even activate a menu item).
The titlebar gains an extra pixel of height, pushing the whole browser window around.
The place where the window touches the taskbar also gains an extra pixel high black line.
So every time I pass over a hyperlink, the whole window shakes a bit.
Fuck Chrome. Fuck Windows 10.
It turns out: both!
