I went back to 7 twice now. My PC(which is a really modern machine, 4-th gen Core i5+GTX780) doesn't want to stay asleep with windows 10. It just wakes up in the middle of the night, "powercfg -lastwake" just shows "unknown", no one has any idea why that happens, only going back to Windows 7 solves the issue.

Not to mention annoying forced UI tweaks that nobody asked for - why does the cursor snap to the corner when moving between monitors? It's beyond infuriating - but at least in win 8 you could disable that through a registry setting. In Win 10, sorry, you can't. W

Why is the show desktop button literally 2 pixels wide now? Trying to hit it when it's on the edge between two monitors is close to impossible.

Also Start menu search takes much longer than it did on windows 7, and it's much less accurate.

Holy shit this My brand new (somewhat expensive D:) laptop tries to commit sudoku any time I look away. I've had it for less than a month and already I've taken it out of laptop bag scorching hot twice - because it decided to wake up for no reason and then stay running with no air...

Shame no one told it there are no 1 to 9 bills :P Kind of feels like it does with real money, because obviously the manufacturer will just blame me for it cooking itself
