Reading this makes me both glad and sad. Glad that I'm not the only one having trouble with w10. Sad that more and more computers comes loaded with it. I can work with windows 8. I can understand Windows 8 and the need for it. To me it's almost like 7 only that I seamlessly can run my program on a tablet. Windows 10 is a step in the wrong direction on so many ways. I've had so many stupid problems on the w10 computers we have that it's not even funny any more.
Worst of all is the message telling me that all the files are exactly where I left them. Creeps me out.

Microsoft has said that Windows 10 was the last version of windows (Why Microsoft is calling Windows 10 'the last version of Windows'[^]). So I think your only choices are to go back to Win 8.1 (like I did recently) or forward to Linux.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

From the info available I believe you might be wrong there.

I would like a reliable screen sharing option.
Skype [business edition] has decided to be a total ass and is going in the direction of the bin.
TeamViewer is trying to elbow its way to the front.
What other options can anyone suggest?

I never share my screen: I might not get it back.

I don't share them either!

That's the best open-source option I've seen. Bit of a sod if you've got multiple screens, though.

Might help internally, but I'm interested in easy ways to share the screen rather than hand over control. If I want to take over a machine I'll use RDCMan, for this problem I want to share the screen for Demos.

Things I've use:
Skype is ok (I use the personal version) but is totally un-intuitive as to how to set up screen sharing.
Team Viewer: when it works, I really like it. It's fast, the file transfer is fast, the only thing I don't like is when it thinks I'm using it for business purposes when I'm not.
Kaseya: Totally sucks. Slow, FTP is pathetic, 50% of the time it fails to connect, and then FTP times out after 1 or 2 minutes of inactivity.
GoToMyPC: Still one of the best, and I'm willing to pay for it.
WebEx: Great, a bit confusing sometimes
ScreenHero: The one time I tried it, it failed miserably, they were "upgrading" I think because they were being acquired by some other company?
uberconference: Not bad, but for the audio connection, the hold music is cute once, annoying ever after.
join.me: Fallback for when everything else fails for one reason or other.

As I only need to share the screen, demos to clients etc, file transfer is not important.
Skype is canned and TeamViewer is still in with a chance. I may go back to WebEx, used previously, if one of the freebies totally fails.

You mean like for tech support?
Before they sold off and turned into Dracula, we bought a single tech license of screen connect and put if on a win7 box in our office.
Backed it up nightly with acronis because it allows us to have Logmein rescue style access to any little old lady we might need to help out from afar. It was $300.00- one time. And it is the best thing ever. Especially when snowed in.
Now, they want the moon on a subscription.

Maybe for support down the line, but this is for demoing to customers - we'll share our screen with them.

screen connect does that as well and call it a meeting

I'm in a mixed group, some silver boxes some black boxes, Lync/Skype works well with my black box brethren. With the Silver boxes we tend to use Zoom, the only drawback is that meetings can only last 40 minutes.
Me, I'm a black box.

I (and the company I am working for) use join.me - it is free and works reasonably well.

At work we use the paid version of GoToAssist. It's been very reliable. I also use the free version of TeamViewer for personal use. I'd recommend either.
