This exactly mirrors my experience.

"Starting" is slow in Windows and just keeps getting slower. That could be booting, logging in, waiting for an application to start, waiting some more for an application to start, and then waiting even more, not being sure if it ever is going to start, waiting some more, and then it starts.

How is stopping these days? I seem to remember there were about 79 reasons why Windows might not shutdown.

The only issue I've had with stopping is when it decides to update, and just hangs there with a completion percentage and the message "This could take a while." I almost always end up holding down the power button because it'll sit on the same percentage, sometimes 100%, for hours.

that happens to coincide with the 79 ways to "power off" windows.

Anyone finally willing to admit that w10 is unusable on Hard Drives while Linux and W7 work fine on them?

I have an older laptop with an hdd. It always was under powered but still usable for things like streaming to a tv every once in a while. The latest Win10 updates have it taking minutes to run a search or context switch. Feels like we are getting into phone territory of forced HW upgrades for everything now.
