Windows 10: Need lemon law to impose fines or civil penalties on microsoft

I just spent nearly 16 hours over 7 to 9 episodes first in October and now this Dec-Jan with Microsoft techs trying to resolve network issue that Windows 10 has. There needs to be sometime of penalty or retribution against Microsoft like the lemon law they have for automobiles. If there was I guarantee they would have sold such piece of garbage product like Windows 10. It is only good to access the internet.

EU Fines Microsoft Record 899 Million Euro

The European Commission fined yesterday US computer giant Microsoft for defying sanctions imposed on it for anti-competitive behaviour. Microsoft must now pay a record 899m euros ($1.4bn; £680.9m) after it failed to comply with a 2004 ruling that it abused its position. The ruling said that Microsoft was guilty of not providing key code to rival software makers. EU regulators said the firm was the first to break an EU anti-trust ruling. The fines come on top of earlier fines of 280m euros imposed in July 2006, and of 497m euros in March 2004. "Microsoft was the first company in 50 years of EU competition policy that the Commission has had to fine for failure to comply with an antitrust decision," Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes said in a statement. "As we demonstrated last week with our new interoperability principles and specific actions to increase the openness of our products, we are focusing on steps that will improve things for the future," Microsoft responded.

Was/Is there actually a law on the books for ‘assisting in making copyright content available’? I've never heard of it before. What are the statutes and penalties? It sounds more like a civil case than a case to be heard in a court of law.
