What an underwhelming end,” responded one user on Twitter in response to a Microsoft tweet about the final version of Windows 10. “During these years, how many times did Microsoft fiddle with Win10's start menu design only to break it? And Settings app is still incomplete, we never got rid of classic Control Panel. Meanwhile, the regular updates have proven to be as much a curse as a benefit, with the ever-present chance that they might break compatibility with something, while user interface changes would annoy users who had just got used to the way everything worked.

The “last version of Windows” bit may have been due to a misunderstanding, but it was one that Microsoft didn’t hurry to correct, at least until it was ready to launch Windows 11, of course. Windows 10 was widely touted on its release as “ the last version of Windows that will ever be released”, as it marked the unveiling of Redmond’s “Windows as a service' concept that the platform would simply be continually updated. Customers have also proven less than enthusiastic about Windows 11, with only about 16 percent of online Windows users running it in November last, according to Statcounter.
