I am on Win10 2004 on two different computers and both have the same problems, which have not been addressed in the updates.
1) Windows Photos frequently locks up when trying to view an image, either .jpg or .tiff, on both computers. Double-click on an image file and you'll only have a 50-50 chance of Photos actually loading fully and displaying the image; the other 50% of the time, Photos will freeze on a full white screen and never display the image, requiring a CTL-ALT-DEL Task Manager forced shutdown.
2) Windows 10 frequently decides where, and when, you can copy-paste objects to. If you do a search inside a File Explorer screen (using the top-right Search box), you can not Select All then Copy-Paste the found files to a location of your choice. Try it: you'll get Copy on a right-click popup menu all right, but Paste won't appear when you go to your destination directory. The only way to copy files to a different location from a Search result is to click Home on the ribbon bar, then select Copy To. This is a fundamental break from the UI standard of allowing copy-paste, and frankly unacceptable.
The same thing happens if you want to copy a series of files from, say, your AppData directory inside your user profile directory. Windows 10 has apparently decided that Copy-Paste is not available; select your files and Copy sure shows up, but browse to your destination and Paste is unavailable. The only way to accomplish the copy is to open the 2 directories in separate Explorer windows and proceed with a Drag and Drop.
Again, this pattern of operation is unacceptable; Windows has functioned with Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V and right-click Copy / Paste for decades now. To (seemingly) break it, now, is completely improper. And it happens on both computers, not just one, so it's systemic.
