Ummm, that happened with Windows versions long before 10.
At least until 10, you had the ILLUSION of control...
But for example, I run Win7, and I can tell you that Windows Updates have changed my security and user preference settings numerous times in the past, and I've had to discover and revert them to my own.
My problem is that I’m not a software guy. I can tell you how and why we built the next generations of hard drives.
I ditched MS while using Win 7. It started when a “security” update, which was really to prepare for Win 10, caused Corel video editor to not start. I rolled back the update and turned off updates, but that left my system vulnerable.
Then my laptop (also Win 7) failed to recognize my flatbed scanner that was working the day before. Re-installing the drivers was no help, but plugging it into another USB port caused it to be recognized.
That was the last straw. Now the only computer in the house that runs windows is an old Dell I bought from Goodwill. It has Windows Server 2008 and MS SQL server 2005 running on it. No keyboard or monitor, I access it with Remmina remote desktop client and it’s only used to run some genealogy software every once in a while.
