True enough. However, in this instance the "virus" in question seems to have been Microsoft's update.

I haven't had that problem, it seems to work fine for me. But then I might not have used it properly

You know drivers also get updated from time to time. Have you checked your drivers? Or are you here just to complain?

When you switched to Win 10: Did you just do the upgrade or did you follow it up with a clean install? I saw this on my grandson's laptop after the upgrade, but after a clean install it was good.

Exactly, this is the Point! Upgrade or clean install. If I compare this to my experience with my own apps, an upgrade is not always that easy... and with my apps it is only an app.

Because Microsoft offering it not only as an option but as the default procedure should imply that it works, right? Of course we know better, but that's why people expect it, rightfully.

I agree with your arguments. But in this case I think it is an experienced user.
I will also do this (need to do it because of company guidlines) upgrade to W10 in near future, one from W7 and one from W8.1, but I do not expect it goes smooth. More I expect that I need to go from scratch

It is important to do the upgrade first, then follow up with a clean install. When you upgrade your machine is registered with Microsoft as eligible for Win 10, and you won't need an expensive activation code later - during the clean install. Just skip the parts where a clean install asks for the activation code.

Thank you for this great advice.

Hold on a tick. Does this mean that I can use the upgrade to register my box for a free copy of Win 10, and then re-install Win 7?
I'd be tempted to do that if I ever thought a time would come when I might agree to the Win 10 EULA.

It run stable for two months. I read that the latest update for Windows 10 is crushing machines.
I started with Windows 3.0 - I have seen a lot of BSODs, but really rarely after a Windows Update.

Make sure that the computer is not defective... What is ARC_SYSTEM?
In my opinion most crash are either due to malfunctionning hardware or poorly written drivers.

It is MS, it is a feature. 
Why are you W10 ? It is common knowledge that is still beta and will be at least until next year. Look, they are still adding features !

So are Android and iOS. Do you also claim that Android and iOS are also in Beta?

Read again my message, you will see that I speak about W10.
Windows started 30 years ago, one can expect a new version to be stable. and stability is what enterprises want.

I find I'm getting problems when starting up. Yesterday, I started Win10, installed from a purchased copy, and it just froze after I started Windows Mail, Internet Explorer and Calendar. That was the second time in the last couple of weeks. A hard restart was the only way out of it, again. I am also experiencing a long hang occasionally when it is running. It eventually sorts itself out.
Before these recent problems, I've had no trouble at all.

I also had the misfortune of falling for the Microsoft hype over how good the new OS was and took up the opportunity to upgrade from my perfectly competant Win7 to Win10 and that's when it all fell apart. Admittedly had I read some of the forums beforehand I might have set up an image of the harddrive before doing it which would have saved my alot of headache.
After just one day of use I realised that the OS isn't fit for purpose and all Microsoft are doing is skipping the bulk of the beta test phase by forcing their customer base to act as guinea pigs for their well concieved but poorly executed system.
After Win10 stopped recognising my graphics card (NVidia GTX860M) which is compliant and fully updated with Win10, I chose the option of reverting the OS back to Win7 but that just locked up the system leaving it in limbo for 9-days in a half-way house state unable to complete the removal process and equally unable to recover my original OS. I managed to recover the data off the partitioned drive, but had to format the C-drive and start again from scratch (oh for an image of the harddrive) 
Two weeks on I'm now struggling to find the drivers neceesary to get my laptop fully operational again and back to where it was before Christmas, as it seems most drivers only go back so far as Win8.1, yet another useless system. Let's hope this goes the same way as their blighted phone range.

When I started up this morning, all I got, after I logged, in was a blank black screen. Didn't even have the opportunity to start any programs this time. Had to hit the hard restart again. It then booted up without any problems. What is going on?

I bought a new Surface 4 Pro a week ago and have exactly that problem, but even before update it to last Win10 Update 1511.
So, I think the problem could be a driver, not the OS last update…
