Microsoft has really gone too far with OTA and automatically reverting settings to more grandma friendly options. I have a windows pc which every month will have some setting reverted without me touching it. It can be anything and it usually takes some time to discover it because it only presents itself when you perform some rare task. My network sharing settings and external monitor scaling settings has been lost multiple times after OTA.

I used to prefer windows but now it's simply not reliable as a OS anymore. They treat it as the front page of Facebook. Every time you boot up its a surprise what you are going to get. Backwards compatability which used to be Microsoft hallmark has now sunk so low that even the user facing options and data are unstable.

I understand the need and desire for OTA and shipping new and modified features but whatever you do don't break user settings unless the feature is so much modified the old setting doesn't make sense anymore.
