I have happily avoided it without problems since its release.

That's very simple. I had installed Win7 when the whole updating circus began. It told me that I would get no forced updates unless I activate windows. So I did not activate it.

Ah, the memories! My first laptop came with ME. It would blue screen 2 or 3 times a day, especially when working in Visual Studio 6. It taught me to code in short bursts and save frequently! Finally, a friend introduced me to W2K and the nightmares were over. I liked W2K so much that I mostly skipped XP.

I had a worn and old PC, pentium 166 MMX, 64 MB of RAM and a motherboard so old it could support no more than a S3 Virge 3D as video card - but that one died years before and I was stuck with a Trident video card with 1 mb of VRAM.
With Win98 SE it blue-screened about 3/4 times a week while with ME it bluescreened less than 10 times in the months I used it. Win2k was incompatible with many of the games I played and with most of the hardware I had at home (a very ancient Genius scanner which was thought for Win 3.1 and had its 16 bit driver embedded in its own management program).
I found it a little slower than 98 but aestethically more pleasant, easier to use and more stable.

Please allow me to offer you the counter point: While I sympathize with the OP and other people who struggle with Win 10, I have used it from the start, updated it regularly and only use Edge. I have had very few issues in more than a year. I did disable pop-up ads in Edge and I further suppress ads with the Windows HOSTS file. So as far as I am concerned, it is humming along nicely.

I started using it back in January and so far have had no issues. Chrome works great. My only issue would be the inability to turn off, or even configure, Windows Update. On my Windows 7 box, I had it set to "download but not install" so that I could decide if an update was needed. Not a showstopper, but it shouldn't take that control away from me.

Last night I noticed that Edge was missing.
Then I noticed the Store was missing.
Did all the steps MS says to do to fix things like that....nope. Still missing.
Ah, well, I need to reinstall anyway, since I got a new motherboard with an M.2 drive I'll use for "C:".
But that's not the point.

I probably would not notice them missing in years.

Right. We want to know why things change. Who is controlling / effecting our hardware?

Your issues aren't really with Win 10 though are they. It appears the problem is with your Chrome installation at least 3 of 5 reboots.
Have you run H/W test, RAM, graphics etc?
|
|

I believe you are correct. It may well be Chrome now that it has caused this problem every time I start it.
I finally just gave up for the evening and now am at work so I'll have to see what Kaspersky says tonight and probably uninstall / install Chrome.

It's about time Microsoft got their act together and fixed Chrome!

Ummm...your solution for disk utilization stuck at 100% is to reboot...twice?
At the very least, launch Resource Monitor and try to establish what files are being accessed. Hopefully that should give you some idea as to what process is causing that.

Once Chrome started, I could not do anything. Nothing.
And it's not CPU (it's an i7), instead it is 100% disk utilization.
I wrote a program that uses FileSystem Watcher so yes I was watching every file being read and written.
I've not seen anything like this before because like I said the entire machine just sits once this happens.
|
|
|
|
|
Where in my post was I inferring I had mistaken 100% disk usage for 100% CPU usage?
What did your file system watcher program reveal? I suspect it wouldn't have access to some system files that Resource Manager would.
