Don't you just wish back Windows XP
Anyway, yes, I gotta also agree with Capo that Windows 10 has it's good points over Windows 7, maybe the 8/8.1 one as well. It's newer, for one, and many drivers are defaulting to Windows 10 at least nowadays. It's stable as well, unless it introduces some nasty bug with some recent update (as it did a few times).


Now for the contras - like mentioned before, at least the feature updates are forced, smaller ones can be disabled via Windows troubleshooter tool, downloaded here (scroll further down to Choose your automatic updates) - if you don't want a particular driver forced upon you, or just an update which just came out and online news clearly say it's buggy.
Another contra is that quite a few services, at least in build 1803 and newer, will be grayed out for you in services.msc - you can not start them, you can not stop them, or set them to automatic or anything. Just greyed out, even if your account is Administrator. That includes the Windows Time Service, which for that very reason simply does not synchronize the clock on your computer with any server - as the Time service it on Manual, can't be changed to anything, and doesn't start with anything. At least you can manually adjust the time if you get to it through the classic Control Panel.


Just so you know what to expect with Windows 10. It's not bad per say, but there are a few unpleasant things with it, where you get no choice.

Win8 is far inferior to Win10. And they have forced updates as well, so is not better even in that aspect. Pro version of Win10 allows you to install updates in your pace, so if you can acquire that - I recommend it.

I checked my Win10 Pro - not confirmed. Granted, I have 1903, but I didn't found "blocked" services with the first glance. Time service at least can be manipulated as usual.

Might be something on my end, although I'm positive I've not played around with any of services, some of them just became entirely greyed out after some update or another, long time ago, meaning any button to Start, Stop, set to Manual or Automatic dropdown, all greyed out and not clickable.
I searched Google thoroughly about that issue as well, but couldn't find any obvious solution anywhere, while actually it seemed many people had those issues as well.



Didn't have anything of such problems on my previous (burned out) laptop with Windows 8.0, and I had that one for about 3 years. Only thing I can do for now is push that issue to the Microsoft and Windows 10 end.
So dunno what's the deal with that /shrug.
I'm on 1903 as well btw., it's just that the issue started when I was still on 1803.

Not confirmed.


Win 10 happily live without any hidden partitions.

I can guess only some right management problem. But it's too complicated issue with Win8/10, so I have no easy solution for you. Except obvious one: try to check disk integrity with chkdsk, then base system image with Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, and at last, the individual files with sfc. (All that done from command line with Administrator privileges). Sorry, I am not proficient enough to give you direct registry links.
