I thought being Microsofts b**** was part of the EULA for Windows 10? Not that that excuses this sort of behavior on their part, but it's forced updates, dodgy practices, and 's*** like this' that are (still) the #1, #2, and #3 reasons that 'no, I really, really do NOT want Windows 10'.

I used to have same problem (fear of 'doing it wrong'), but after getting a look at some 'professional' code, and working with a few third party APIs, I quickly began to realise that most 'programmers' have very little, if any, idea what they are doing either. The best advice I can give is just give it try, get something (seriously anything) working, and don't be afraid to throw it all out and start again. You will start to understand the problem, and your tools, much better each time, and once you have something that is 'good enough' you can go from there.

Classic Shell. You're welcome.
