I think they're more likely to just ditch consumer OS' entirely. Its not their moneymaker anymore, that'd be cloud service subscriptions (O365 and Azure) and enterprise licensing.

If I remember correctly that didnt work despite following the instructions.
Either I did it wrong or something changed. Oh well. I will keep that for future reference and maybe it'll work then. -
Windows is easy, bro, you just need to run this shady PowerShell script to get rid of ads, run this random EXE from github.ru to disable telemetry, install ClassicShell to make the UI actually usable, install a million utilities for basic features (each from a separate site, of course ; the centralized Windows Store is full of malwarei), then pray
sfc /scannow
fixes your system after every update.BTW, don't bother searching for a solution to your problems other than "retry, reboot, reinstall" ; even certified MS professionals don't know how anything works.

Some of them just don't want to take responsibility if they do something wrong under your instructions.

I recommend setting up whatever your alternative is a little before committing to ease the transition a bit. It's different, and it's good to fall back to something else for a bit if you get frustrated.

At least set it outside your DHCP range.
I have my DHCP set to use from
.100
and up, and my static addressee are in the.1-99
range.I still set it through my router so I have a place to look up which one is which (they're piling up), but they're all in that range.

It's the only possible solution. The issue with Windows version to version is they merge shit into the base without worrying about how it affects the codebase as a whole. That's why we have 2-3 different ways to access different menus.
