[QUOTE="mazskolnieces, post: 922570, member: 88422"] Microsoft shut down its QA department back in 2014\2015. It fired 99 % of the QA personnel back then. The only ones from QA that were retained were managers and senior personnel. The Windows 10 QA program was replaced by the Windows Insider Program and telemetry. Developers took up some of the testing responsibility, but most are not equipped nor skilled at the art of testing. Development and QA are separate functions for multiple reasons. Every Windows 10 user has been for years the QA guinea pigs.
