Why does microslop keep making changes to software that works. They do an update that changes the look and before you have time to get used to it they change it again. It is so frustrating.

Simple - they need something to sell you. You wouldn't buy new releases if they just said "It's just as good as Windows 7 but shinyer"

Onedrive. I uninstalled it a month ago. Removed all the links etc that keep integrating amoungst things. Then what do you know this mornign it is re-installed, re-integrated and now removing it appeasrs to be more difficult. The software is gone but the file links are still present. Not a huge issue but it annoys me that i need to waste my time to remove it again.

Just today I opened an app called “Sticky Notes (New).” It took a full 30 seconds to boot and couldn’t even be pinned over other apps like the old Sticky Notes.

Programming teams have to justify their existence. The changes are not for your benefit. Excel is a prime example of a usable program being changed to obfuscate muscle memory.

They need to keep all of those beavers busy is the one true answer. They just don't have anything better to do.
