I have experienced the first point many many times, and no, they aren't registry hacks. I've had things get reset straight out of Windows power options among others for example.

Early on, I think I've seen W10 update my GPU drivers while I was in game, which crashed it. I've also seen my TV mirroring setup wiped out by driver updates that happened behind my back.

Windows 10 doesn't seem to respect the user as much as previous releases.

Microsoft had some early hiccups in settings being forgetful when reprovisioning them in updates, and apologized for those on the Windows 10 blogs (and especially to Insiders who saw it the most; and also helped report it and fix it). Windows 10 has gotten more reliable to not accidentally forget settings with each major update.
