There's a number of irritations with Windows 10 I've detected in the 4 days I've upgraded to it from windows 7
1. Cannot get email sound alerts without being accompanied by banners covering up important areas of your screen.
2. Cannot easily save websites to windows start menu. You are forced to go through this long convoluted procedure now where as it was really simple in W7!
3. Cannot add html in signature in emails with the pre-installed mail app. So I used to have a link to my blog automatically added to my emails. That's no longer possible.
4. Loads of bugs whereby things are not responding like the start button not responding etc. Also not having a net connection on first boot.
5. Having to use this dos command prompt all the time for loads of things, and altering the registry. Used these more in past few days than in years on W7!
6. Excel has altered its dates to the American format in all my old spreadsheets! (I'm English)
7. Continually getting nagged saying I don't have administrator permission to do this, that and the other. This is just copying folders and the like. I just press continue or whatever, and it does it. But it's my computer that I paid over £1400 for. Who the heck do microsoft think they are saying they won't give me permission??
And that command prompt won't work unless you right click it and choose the "run as administrator". But what is the purpose of ever *not* running as an administrator?
8. Feedback hub doesn't work. Just get an endlessly circling large circle thingy.
9. Getting a mere 10 days to revert back to previous OS is a ridiculously short period. People need a month at least.
