Are there quality guides to customize Windows 10?

The inability to minimize and customize Windows 10 is really starting to grate on me.

Win 10 keeps making decisions for me and does not let me choose.

I have had to configure Windows 7 and Windows 8 Embedded for work so I am used to being able to configure Windows to minute detail.

I wonder if MSFT will even release Win 10 embedded.

There is "Windows 10 IoT Core" that they threw together to jump on the Raspberry Pi bandwagon [1], which suggests that they'll do a Windows Embedded 10 at some point.

In short, Microsoft can trim down Windows 10 just fine, they've just made it hard for customers to do so.

I've been looking for a comprehensive guide before but haven't found anything yet. Most of the custom changes I've done were the result of software mentioned in online articles, or google searches in regards to my specific issues.
