1) Paying for a licence and still being treated like a marketing target
2) Windows update is ridiculously slow end-to-end and takes a whole morning once per month to update our platform machines (even though we are 80% Linux)
3) Search is really, really, really bad. I mean honestly, search for a program and it might take 10 seconds to load a result if it loads anything at all. Partial matches? Nope. This has never worked on any of my windows 7-11 machines and has never been fixed.
4) The whole "reinstall Windows" attitude at Microsoft Support if they cannot work out why something isn't working
5) The half-arsed attempts to harmoize the UI which just leads to weirdisms like network in 3 different places, remote desktop still in a windows 32 bit dialog, and the fact that things got renamed and moved with every major release for what can only be assumed to be a shit reason breaking muscle memory for 1000s of people.
6) Not having the Virt IO drivers included in the base windows installer.
I think that is enough for now!
