Patch notes: “Made the app a little worse just to keep things interesting.”
That's the Microsoft strategy, but they forgot to make it better sometimes too
It's been Android too at least since they stopped naming versions after sweets
Kit Kat was the last great android version for me
I wish everyone would follow Apple's lead (literally exclusively just this one time) and rename their software versions to their associated year.

The Microsoft strategy often seems to be "It worked well, but we completely redid it because we need to justify out existence. Now it barely works with new bugs"
That's more Google's strategy. Microsoft is more "we updated a bunch of stuff so that we could push our products and services even harder and closed workarounds people are using to avoid them, and if you don't like it, fuck you, what're you gonna do?"

I'd run it.
