My experience with Microsoft support and answers sites results mainly in figuring things on my own or finding solutions elsewhere. Sometimes, the official solution is not even a solution, but a workaround, sometimes the 'most helpful' response is 'I have the same issue!', sometimes it's an answer that suggests that I restart explorer.exe (like I haven't done that already) or things like that, and sometimes the answer is 'well, try using installation CD and start a system from scratch' when much less drastic measures are needed.
My experience with win10 issues has been more like this:
Person 1: "How can I disable (candy crush, xbox, telemetry, update restarts, cortana, onedrive, etc)"
Person 2: "It's easy, just open gpedit.msc, drill down fifteen menus, change a setting. If the setting isn't there, open the registry editor, find this obscure key, create a DWORD value... Then, any time you update, which is constantly, this will reset and you'll simply have to do it again. It's easy"

That also describes 69% of my marriage.

So yeah, I want to be mad.

Person 1: "That's umm, really not ideal..."
Person 2: "You're being deliberately stubborn."
