Yes, feature updates should be offered, not forced to install. Yes, security updates that do not mess with the settings or do reinstall could be mandatory but they should be small and not that complex … I do not know why Microsoft does not see that the update system is broken in Windows 10 and does more problems than it solves. I have been always huge fan of "updated windows" but after twice a year reinstalls (which feature updates actually do – they install new version of windows with the multiple reboot system) that is too much ….</p><p><br></p><p>Wake up, Microsoft!</p><p><br></p><p>And while you do that, allow the ability to control the transparency color in Acrylic similarly to what was available in Vista/Windows 7. Currently the background color "pops" through acrylic layer very strongly, which is very distracting. Transparency can be good but when done properly.</p>
