I have been using Windows 10 for a couple of months now, and I am generally satisfied with it. However, I have noticed some weird issues, although not serious, that will require attention from the sunshines at Microsoft at some future point:
1) If you have more that one user's profile on the machine, and you delete one of the profiles, it gives you the option to also delete that user's data files. If you select 'yes', the profile is duly deleted, but the access to the Microsoft Solitaire collection is broken for all remaining users! Not a problem for me, but my wife's utterings when it happened on her machine, cannot be repeated here! Not even in the Soapbox.  Fortunately I had a recent image of her machine's system drive, otherwise I may have had to re-install Windows and all the pain that entails.
2) I have a somewhat old version of WinZip (version 16). Every time I run that, Windows resets all my default programs to handle image files (BMP, JPG, PNG, etc) to Windows' internal Photoviewer.
3) The icon to eject external USB drives, lists my NVidea video card as an ejectable device. If I select that, it messes up my screen and I have to restart the machine to fix it.
Curiouser and curiouser!
Are you reading this, Microsoft? If not, why not?

It doesn't eject the card? Disappointing

Dear Cornelius,
I read your complains, but I don't give a sh*t.
Sincerely yours,
Microsoft

1) don't do it then
2) don't do it then
3) don't do it then
There you go. All fixed.

Yeah, I am not repeating it. The issue will nevertheless have to be fixed, even though it's not critical.

I had the same issue with the video card showing up in the list of things to be ejected. But it has gone away, so maybe an update fixed it.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Not in my case. I have all updates, but the issue with the video card remains.

Not to worry. I pride myself on my weirdness. At least I stand out from the crowd!

1) I only have one profile, and I don't play solitaire, so no issue there.
2) I don't have WinZip, so no issue there
3) I don't see that, so no issue there.
I think MS is out to annoy you.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

MICROSOFT went from trying to prevent you from downloading Windows without paying, TO trying to force a new windows onto compututers without your consent.
ASK WHY?

Maybe the computer at the powr company upgraded to windows 10 automatically overnight and there software stopped working?

It seems to a be new thing: I can currently eject
1) My SSD Boot disk. :omg:
2) Marvell 91xx Config Ejecting my Boot disk might cause some problems, I'll pass on that one.
I have no idea what "Marvell 91xx Config" is, so I'll pass on that one as well... 
It's not the DVD (that's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion) and I don't think it's my graphics card (GeForce 8400GS) so it could be anything, including "the ghost in the machine" for all I know...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

If the boot disc has windows 10 on it, it's best to eject it.

Ok the first one really is a problem but I haven't had experience with that one.
Second.. 7-Zip is a great tool and it's free and great and have I mentioned free?
Haven't experienced the third one, but I would surely try to remove it if I had seen it. Just out of curiosity. But then again I have two video cards in my laptop and the integrated one just might pick up the slack. Now I want to try it!
But in general I am a happy user of Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile. It has it's positive and negative sides, but then again which OS doesn't?

I've had to block all windows updates, because one keeps breaking SD card support -- on a tablet!

I have the same 'weirdness' with icons changing. Usually when this happens, I also lose the left-hand navigation window in explorer..I mean it's still there, just with nothing in it. A reboot always fixes it.
