Today's Windows 10 Annoyance: I'd like to do a drive integrity check on an SD card without automatically fixing any problems it finds.
Why? Because based on the issues found/proposed fix, I might make some additional attempt(s) to recover data first.
I'd swear earlier versions of Windows let you do things like have it summarize any problems discovered without applying any fixes. The command line chkdsk sort of does this.

A shoutout to the systems engineers that made Microsoft Windows so fragile, that a single file browser (explorer.exe) freezing causes my Edge downloads to pause, and closing the frozen file browser closes all my file browsers.
My ADHD brain needed those open file browsers so I could keep track of all my in-progress tasks. How do I resume now? Yeah, I suppose I could come up with a better system than that.

What Microsoft thinks we want: Artificial Intelligence everything
What we actually want: to have a calculator app programmed with a traditionally designed good UI, so that pasting the text "1234x5678=" results with "7,006,652", not "Invalid input".
