While there are things to improve—better UI scaling, type rendering, dark mode, touch compatibility—I personally would like to see a return to simplicity.

The Windows UI has been inconsistent and weird since Windows 2000 (or XP if you turned off the Sesame Street theme).

“The Windows UI has been inconsistent and weird since Windows 2000”

Very true. Windows 95 and then 2000 showed some real efforts to get good and consistent usability. They threw that all away with Windows 8 and Metro.

Sesame Street! Yes! My friends and I called it "Fisher Price".
