Completely agree. Adding features nobody asked for, without any option to disable them.
- Notification pop-ups that cannot be turned off
- Regional settings tied up to decimal separators, time formats and display language without any way to set these individually
- New features which add clutter and noise without any option to turn them off
Microsoft used to be about customizing your experience. Apple used to be the "one size fits all" company. But now I feel Microsoft is moving in the "one size fits all" direction, but without anything near the usability and user experience quality from Apple.
