Wow. That's really abusive. Microsoft is really making the case that they can't be trusted with OS development anymore. Something like this should have never left the testing phase, and in fact probably would have been killed then and there had Microsoft not killed its in house testing process years ago. Instead, new features are pushed out to windows insiders and pre release testers in the wild, and Microsoft relies on telemetry to tell it about bugs. Its clearly a process that's not working, but since its much cheaper, Microsoft wont go back to in house QA teams.
So what's a computer user to do? You could get a Mac, and modern Mac OS is very usable and feature complete. Its also not polluted with as many ads as Windows. They still exist on MacOS, but they're all first party and relatively rare. Downside is you have to pay Apple's exorbitant hardware costs and obnoxious upsell strategies.
What about Linux? Its great except for productivity and production software (I'd argue gaming too, but that's greyer area than most). If you need Office or Photoshop, you're basically SOL on Linux. Browser based alternatives really arent there either.

Problem with that approach is that macos sucks and no matter how much you spend the OS always feels laggy and slow
