Since getting Windows 10 at work it has been a disaster, it seems to have been designed as a cross between a smartphone and a tablet and is absolutely useless for computers that interface with technology in the real world.
Almost every update in the seemingly endless stream of updates removes the drivers for our various serial leads, USB adaptors and other interfaces! After re-installing the latest drivers and going through the painstaking process of doing the COM port drivers, bus drivers etc manually (because when you install them online or from discs, they successfully install and finish but nothing works), the devices only work until the next update and hey presto "No drivers are installed for this device".
Even when you plug into the USB and up pops the device detected window, then "(name of device) is installed and ready to use" does it work? No! Go to device manager - no drivers are installed for this device.
Every update seems to wreck something, items disappear from the taskbar, the touchpad settings return to unusable tap to click settings and will not disable, the volume slider no longer appears etc, etc. Windows 10 will not give you permission to look at the external drive that you have been using every day, suddenly you also no longer have permission to look at your own files despite having ownership and full control!
Has there been a problem, did all the qualified staff leave or do they simply not care that their current product is garbage?
We fortunately kept hold of our old Windows 7 PC's, we can no longer network them, but hey, none of these problems, everything works!
Windows 10 sucks big time.
