I really dislike that MS is willing to impair the experience of more experienced users because other users can't be bothered to update. IMO, the MS of old would've let you opt out via a registry hack that you enable once and forget about, rather than constantly screwing with your computer to fix things.

The problem used to be that old registry hack would go viral in an old person email chain or some terrible adware/malware app would suggest it as a way to "speed up your machine" or worse some virus would do it unsuspectingly as a way to cover its tracks and a lot of inexperienced users would suddenly stop updating their machines regularly.
