I used Windows 10 for the first time in years this weekend to play games

While playing, Windows would switch from the game to a stupid "Restart your computer now or in 1 hour?" modal - with no option to get it to permanently go away. And it kept popping up every hour. Infuriating.

To be fair, in Windows 11 this doesn't happen -- it detects when you are in games (or tries to) and withholds the messages.
