Didn't match my screen. Each UI update imposes changes that developers decide are better. Users are forced to fumble around until they figure out where some useful toolbar or button has been moved to.

If enough users complain, a subsequent update brings the feature back — like the Start Button in Windows 8. My recent one-on-one with OneDrive just added another hour to that tally. Fortunately, I persisted in finding a better way, or I would have wasted even more time tediously downloading one file at a time.
