WIN 10 stable?

My WIN 10 sytem runs absolutely stable. No problems at all. Even on older sytems it runs fast un comparison to WIN 7. What are your experiences?

I do not understand the question; are not you happy that your Win10 is stable?

I haven't Win10; my only experience is... to have read many times that it creates problems

Very stable on Win10

I have been using Win10 for about 2 years, no problem.

I do find Win 10 (have Win 10 Pro) very stable. But only on a System with about 8GB (or more) RAM.
My PC does have 16GB

I've experienced no problems with a 5 year old 6GB laptop that originally had win7 and a new 8GB desktop.

It's over the top user control is frustrating occasionally however.

I have Windows 10 Pro installed on my Dell Precision T3500 with 12GB for 2 years, it runs stable and without problems.
6 months ago I replaced the hard drive with an SD-Drive(256GB), and since it takes about 10 seconds to get started.

My personal problem with windows 10 is not the product itself, but it is the new update system. In the past some computer specialists made decisions wether they are updating or not and also had the ability to clear smaller problems with this updates. With windows 10 i know many people who made the update to windows 10 by mistake. Two times a year they call me because something in their updates is going wrong; so my personal feeling is, that only 90 % of the updates are working well and microsoft is destroying 10 % of customer installations two times a year.
There are also many settings which are lost each update cycle and currently i have more than ten machines every time to set back the previous settings.
Next thing i really hate is the advertising in the start menu - if i have spent money for buying windows 10 why should i always look at these "animated" start menu tiles. Each time a new version is installed, the same crap is back...

I've been using Win 10 since it was in BETA, no issues whatsoever, you will find problems or annoyances if you sign up for the "Windows insider" version but that's of course if you willingly accept to become a beta tester.

Win 10 is very stable and fast even on crappy systems (I've mentioned this before in other threads) old laptops with even 2GB of RAM performs very well, Win 7 on the same machine is a dog.

That can be easily disabled, I don't like and never liked those silly tiles, you can change that under the "Personalization" settings there's a switch there to show tiles.

I am beta tester, but only on my notebook, not on my working machine. My main problem with the first two windows 10 versions was an unstability of my wlan driver, which is working without problems on the parallel installed win7; but i think they could find a solution.

install classic shell and you'll have the old windows 7 style menu and no annoying blocks or menu structure where you can't find anything.

that original menu looks different from windows 10 subversions aswell so it's always adjusting to find your way in that mess.

I use classic shell since the beta of windows 8..., but i have to install it more than six times a year. Each small (beta) update and the crap is back.

Returning to the original question, my personal experience is that Win 10 is stable and runs smoothly only if you perform a clean installation. Upgrade from Win 7 brings many instability problems.

Nah, I work for Ferrari ;-)

At home I use Win10 Pro and have had no issues. I use Hyper-V to manage my virtual machines (usually to try out software, set up test servers, etc. without polluting my machine). Recently I've been using the Linux sub-system (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) for Linux oriented stuff. The update cycle can be a little maddening/annoying, but it has not stopped anything from working yet (home machine is an i7-3770k, 8GB RAM, 1TB HD, dual monitor setup).

At work. Now that is another story. We've used Win 10 Pro since when Win 10 first came out. Well, not quite. Not until the second update to Windows 10, did Windows 10 actually work properly with roaming profiles (at least for us), which was completely mind blowing (that it did not work right out of the box). As much as I would like to love Edge, I hate it (in a business environment). Out of the blue it will quit working (it has done this since Windows 10 came out). And then nothing fixes it. Well two things: an in-place upgrade or, if the in-place upgrade fails, a full re-install of Windows. This makes absolutely no sense. None whatsoever. And I've tried all the crazy things that you can find posted on the internet from Microsoft. Just today (yes, TODAY April 12th, 2018), my Edge quit working. This is on a system that had Windows 10 Pro freshly installed less than two months ago. And I just got used to using it (Edge) again. Oh well. Luckily I also have Firefox and Chrome installed. Oh yeah, the "build" in apps usually are no better off (various random pieces will quit working). On this machine (a fresh install, but an existing roaming profile), the build in calculator is missing (the APP one). I have no clue why. It worked on my previous machine (a VM on a Mac Mini).

As on OS itself, I've had virtually zero issues. The days of blue-screening or locking up seem to be gone (I've had some (across various machines at work), but they were all related to failing, misbehaving hardware (a major sore point was a batch of faulty 2TB Seagate drives)). For regular programs (non-APPS, actual programs), it is a great, stable platform (work machine is an all-in-one with i7-4770, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, WQHD Monitor and two FHD Monitors, one connected via HDMI, the other via a USB3 DisplayLink hub).

@OliverA,

What version of Win 10 you have a t work?, I have never seen that problem with Edge crapping out, in fact, Edge is very stable here at work.

You mentioned the "built in apps" so it is not the LTSB version.

Pro. Roaming profiles may be the issue with Edge.

etc etc etc

No, not LTSB. Most PC's came with Win 10 Home and were upgraded to Pro. Once the Pro key was received (through the Windows Store), the machines were cleared and a "fresh" copy of Pro was installed on them (due to this in early versions: https://social.technet.microsoft.co...rs-and-groups-missing?forum=win10itprogeneral). This is a small company.

I see, then it seems is a problem with roaming profiles.

Thanks.

I did an upgrade from Win 7 pro about 1.5 years ago, no problems at all, other than learning where they put everything. Finding and setting all the preferences and permissions so that Microsoft isn't spying on me took awhile. I have a lot of older programs, some I wrote that go back to Win 98 that refused to run on Win 7, but run perfectly on Win 10. They did a good job. Only recent problem is with the latest versions of Firefox, every couple of days my PC will lock up and I have to reset, but pretty sure that's an issue with Firefox and my really old graphics card.
