#2This 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.

#4Would be interesting how much worse it is if you upgrade in-place. Or is that what this test did?
Overlaying SPECTRE etc. mitigations could also provide some insight.

#5Anyone finally willing to admit that w10 is unusable on Hard Drives while Linux and W7 work fine on them?

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.

#8At what point does Windows 10 cross into what people would generally call "unstable software" and call Microsoft's classification of "stable release" as being way too low a bar?

#9On my current gaming PC (i7-7700) I have installed W10 in 2017 and... no problem whatsoever? SSD, 10s boot. idk how do people end up with all the problems. I'm really curious because there must be an underlying reason

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.
