IE seems to lead to the most crashes, I have tried Edge, but its lack of plugin support and odd CPU Usage just makes it useless, and I just can use Chrome or Firefox, they just don't fee "right" lol.
To be fair, I tax my Pro 3 pretty darn hard but I would have never expected this many crashes when 8.1 was solid and reliable.
Let it to MS apologists to spin a 60% user satisfaction rate as a win.
IMO that's terrible. I would've expected it to be between 80-90
The only thing that consistently bothers me about is windows update. They've made it as intrusive and uninformative as they possibly could. It's doesn't tell you how big updates are. Doesn't let you select which updates to install. It pops up this giant blue notification ribbon right in the middle of the screen that interrupts whatever you're doing to tell you there are updates.

Fuck that survey and I'm leaning more towards Fuck Win10 as well.
Started off great, their policy regarding updates though pisses me off. Every single time I do an upgrade it resets certain things it has no business touching.
1) adds back all the BS system folder icons in my computer that I removed via registry tweaks
2) resets all my power/sleep options for my monitors.
3) Removes perfectly working programs just because it thinks they are incompatible.Just did the latest "big" win10 patch, and I was greeted with a message saying it removed the Win7 Desktop Gadgets app because it's not compatible. Bullshit it's not. been working fine for months.
I'd love to complain, but MS doesn't make it easy. No email or something I could fire off a message to. I'm too lazy to join that windows insider bullshit so I can access the forum.
The message I'm getting is "we are going to do whatever the fuck we want with your PC and we don't care what you think"
Total of 8 computers running in the house. All with 10 except my wife's laptop which is running 8.1. All of them are running solid and just work. Like every other OS I've used in the last 3 decades.

Just last week a customer companys CEO was cursing Win10. He had updated Win10 to a late model Dell business laptop. After that he couldn't connect to any external monitors even though the Dell update software claimed all his drivers and system is up to date.
We had a meeting in the conference room full of people and he couldn't share his screen due to Win10, which made him very happy.
It's a scary thought that it's that high but not really surprising. The sheeple don't really know or even care about the spying. They just see "ooo shiny!" and install it.
Windows 10 is free for the same reason as Facebook. YOU are the product.
The entire findings are a joke. The (online - red flag #1) survey was conducted in September, and whatever was being measured is completely skewed off the map. 37% of the respondents said they were in the Windows Insider preview program And pegging a 30%+ share of consumers in the US running 10 doesn't match with even the rosiest of bad analytics.
lol

Other than that it's been identical to 7 for my purposes. I use the UI basically the same way. I haven't had any weird crashing problems on any of my PCs or laptops.
If they made the same survey to the same people and asked them what is a desktop, same percentage would probably answer it's made out of wood.

Weird. I don't think I've ever seen a pop up for updates. Must be a different setting.
If you set Windows 10 to not download updates automatically (via group policy or possibly by setting your connection to metered) you get a full screen blocking popup notifying you of the updates instead. I need it set not to download automatically because I'm on super slow rural DSL most of the time and don't want windows update wrecking my connection at its leisure. The normal way to get rid of the popup is to click the only button on it, "get updates," which then opens the windows update screen, but thankfully doesn't automatically download anything (an oversight by MS I'm sure). I've recently found I can kill it without opening updates with the ESC key.
