Discussion What feature would you like in Windows? (no cynical answers please)

(re cynical / 'I would like such-and-such to be functional / the way it worked in <previous version>' answers - I can think of plenty, I'm just trying to restrain myself here )

One thing I think would be cool would be if Device Manager got a small upgrade, I'm not sure what I'd call it but I'll go with 'batch driver install' for now - imagine that you've just installed Windows on a new PC and Device Manager has a load of entries in 'other devices' waiting for drivers, so you have to go in on each one, install driver, point it at a location, rinse and repeat. I assume that most people here are like me in that you have a folder containing all the drivers for a particular system and you point the 'update driver' UI to that location and it finds the right driver itself, now imagine that you choose an option in Device Manager that will rifle through all the drivers in a folder structure you specify and update all the relevant drivers in Device Manager with the drivers from that folder.

My main wish isn't that big. Give me back the damn "Quick Launch". I hate pinning things to the taskbar, takes up too much room.
It was taken away after Vista, but at least with 7, 8, and 10 it was fairly easy to add back.
Now with 11, you have to install 3rd party apps to get it back. It should be there by default.

I want to be able to tell Windows if I want a new feature/app or not. Quit installing it automatically and then making me have to uninstall/disable something.
