Well, because the Service Pack is based on user feedback to problems in the initial user release.

Hi Peter, You couldn't have said things better. I have used windows 7 with WE 8.4 for a long time. I just recently upgraded to windows 8 the week before windows 10 was released. With everything I hav seen on this list about the problems with windows 10 and WE 9.2 I have no intention to upgrade either until a few months have passed and the bugs are worked out. I am not a super big user of the computer so I don't feel I have have to have every upgrade the minute they aree released. If more people would take in stride what you said below there sure wouldn't be all the problems and complaints. So thank you for what you are saying.

I used to, when I wrote tutorials on Windows for the blind, recommend to my readers that they should keep their current system for a while. Wait until the next release fix; let others have the headaches with the new system. The release of a new Windows is a massive undertaking, and it is impossible to find and fix all problems before a major release. Users will try the strangest things - which would never occur to developers. So, if you depend on your computer for work or school, don't muck with it! Personally, I have an old spare computer on which I put a new Windows release and play for a while and get use to its new ways of doing things, most often better ways, sometime not. For instance, as mentioned on this list, Microsoft forgot to build Accessibility into the new browser Edge; but, wait a while, and that will get fixed. The developers of Windows at Microsoft have regular meetings at which they discuss which bugs and oversights to fix; that list can contain thousands of problems. Fortunately, Microsoft has observed the Pareto Principle at work: 20 percent of the bugs cause 80 percent of the problems, so they are addressed first. BTW: Pareto's law applies in many situations: 20 percent of the workers at a company do 80 percent of the work. 20 percent of mathematicians discover/invent 80 percent of new mathematics.
