Windows 10: How do you prioritize feedback?

I've used microsoft's community especially answers.microsoft and I just can't figure out how you guys decide what to bother with taking to the next level and what gets locked and shot down. Just a while ago, I found the unfortunate answer to a new question I had pertaining to my setup that was locked. For continuity, I have omitted the issue until the end. Seems the more time goes by, the less gets done in the way of what customers want to see, and more of "we're getting rid of this old thing" control panel that apparently is perceived as something that either no one uses anymore, consumers won't miss it or will forget about it when they see what we're doing instead, or simply, it's our windows, not theirs, taking the possessive approach to development where users are bound to it so they just have to deal with what we feel like doing, which generally happens to be NOT what consumers would like to see. Maybe my desires are a bit more of a niche thing than I see them as, but for all the threads locked because someone a year after letting one person down, another asks about progress, their reply removed by an automated system or an administrator....it just seems all the "answers" and other community admins are intentionally staying too far from the feedback loop. Maybe a bit of personal involvement could make windows and MS in general better, faster.



So, the issue is in this thread, a simple question that should have been made into a feature years ago.
