Obviously the graphics card drivers aren't fully mature yet, mostly with regard to DirectX 12 (so mostly affect early testing) but to a lesser extent also affecting other things, especially GPU intense things like DX11 games. MS forcing (graphics) driver updates via Windows update with very limited or no options to defer them in case they're bad makes this worse, there's already been several documented cases of this causing boot loops on some machines. But really, the only real casualty is that anything using SafeDisc or some versions of SecuROM DRM's won't run due to security issues in the way they're implemented. I think it was the right call by MS but it definitely causes some hurt, it would have been much worse if not for the push for less DRM (lead by GOG, but Steam is also mostly a force for good here). http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/08/17/windows-10-safedisc-securom-drm/
