In my opinion, moving something from a menu in control panel to a secret that you can only access if you're in the know is a restriction, as is running without complaint to halting start up to complain.
One thing I miss is being able to specify a partition to format and install in instead of the entire drive, at least that was a functionality that I noticed was removed this week from my official windows 10 installer usb.

Another example Is perhaps what you were eluding to, but I'd say just the fact that they are trying to prevent me from making changes to my pc, is a restriction.
With win98 you could change which software and system components ran on startup, and how they would run and it would just ask, are you sure we think this will break the system, and that's the last they said about it. your system would either run or crash on reboot. XP would complain every time it boots up that you disabled unneeded "vital" windows functions, and ask to be allowed to restore them. Windows 7, I think it was, the menu will not show up in any setting window, you have to use the run command and know the file name, windows 10 doesn't even let you reject an update, and removed most of the options during install. There was also a few unctions built into older os that were removed with later editions, gameport, gif and midi support in default softwares, and I found the windows 7 library system to be a step backward for productivity with image processing and graphic design, suddenly I needed software to do what I used to do with built in defaults, and the os was more bloated with important to me features removed. I had to change my review process for editing to include new software that would slow the pc down further. It seems functionality is removed with each edition, and yet the os size increases somehow, some is gone, some just hidden, both are annoying.

I had a windows 7 ran great for years then started being unbearably slow, and I looked up the process and found it was a wincows update using an ungodly amount of my processing power, found out the update was part of the windows 10 spyware suite(spying on me, not protecting me from) and that it was passed off as a "security update" uninstalled and system ran perfectly again. Sometimes I need to pack up my laptop quickly before leaving for school or the bus, and so, I want to avoid installing the updates until I get home, old systems allowed you to shut down without installing all the updates, but when I first tried win10 that was not an option, if there was an update, then you best hope your laptop didn't overheat in your bag as it spends the next 20 minutes installing, and that you have 20 minutes at the start of class when you don't need to do any work with your computer. I owned a laptop that was known for melting its solder traces if it overheated and bridging points in the motherboard; overheating is no joke.

I set up a pintaboot system, that is it was booting 5 operating systems off the same hard drive, and everything worked fine, they played along and didn't absolutly drstroy each other when installing themselves. Then I upgraded one of the two win7 partitions to win10 to see if I might be able to tolerate it, and it attacked all the other installs to the point that recovery disks couldn't fix them, after win10 ran functions I told it not to do. Why did it ask me, the user, for input if it was going to ignore my input. In the middle of operation Win10 has decided to make adjustments to how programs were running without asking and these changes broke the software. Windows 10 does things without asking, disobeys commands, and thinks it knows better than the user.

I enjoyed running win98 with its every setting tweaked to my preference, it felt very personal.
I think XP was their best system.
Win 7 was acceptable and had a few improvements.
Windows 10 seems to think all users are idiots and wants to control everything, by offering as few options as possible, and defaulting to be able to make changes to itself without input, as if the default settings are the only valid settings for every setup.






I'm not sure why you brought this up, as I do not see any posts by them here.
