This is indeed the worst. By itself it is enough to make me want to switch.
It's not the only thing, though. Win 10 is a decent OS in most ways, but there are too many places where it does things that I don't want and I can't (easily?) change.
I use Windows because I do C# development for a living. For now, it's not practical for me to switch, but maybe it will be in a few years. I'm hoping so.
Really stupid to drive developers off of your OS, Microsoft.
Since when do developers have much say in which OS they use? These things are decided by corporate policy and management in most places.
The best you can hope for here is that you can do the bulk of your C# development on a "rogue" Linux machine or VM, and then do some final testing and bug-fixing on Windows, since it's going to be deployed on Windows with customers (internal or external) who use Windows.
Developers get a say in which OS the same way they get a say about lots of things, by finding a job that fits their desires. For example I decided a while back that my computer had become to integrated in my life for me to consider using a company provided computer, so I don't, and I haven't had any problem finding good jobs.

i predominantly work in java; and while windows is the "official" development environment (more by default than by decree) there weren't any objections or policies against using linux, as nothing in the workflow is tied to a single platform. (hooray!)
