Windows hasn't added any features of value since Windows 7.

I mean, the HDR support and multi window snapping, as well as remembering window positions on multiple displays.

Counterpoint, if you have two monitors with different DPI scaling, window dimensions get butchered when moving between them

This annoys the shit out of me on a daily basis

Powertoys and fancyzones in particular has been amazing with the proliferation of large monitors. Saves so much time and effort to configure windows. Don't understand why it is an optional utility and not built into the OS.

I have never found HDR to be helpful. Every time I turn it on it seems to think what I want was not better colors, but for all my colors to be extremely washed out on every screen.

Without the right monitor or setup, HDR can look not great.

Windows hasn’t added any features of value since Windows ~~7~~ XP

Uhh, driver support and networking have vastly improved since Windows XP.

If you had ever done a clean reinstall of XP, you'd know what a pain it was to make sure you had your NIC drivers on a floppy or USB drive before you started.

I was going to say XP, but 7 is so much better an experience than XP.
