Except for the task manager. Windows 8 to Windows 10 had a good one.
I'd rather use tabletified 8 than 10.
Eww
The task manager in win 8 wouldn't stay/come on top if there was a frozen program. This would make the new task manager unusable to kill the problem program. And then the half-assed solution of preemptively enabling always on top did not even work reliably. A pretty fundamental issue, which for me far outweighed whatever improvements that new task manager contained.
I never cared about task manager outside of the 5 seconds it took to kill the occasionally obstinate/frozen program, so as long as it did that much, I didnt care about the rest.
Which sounds like 8 ruined even that.
