I quite like Win10, except for one issue I had recently...
When I take my laptop home, I leave it running with the screen close, when not in use. The settings are such that it won't shut off, so I can jump straight back on with no down time.
Now, a few weeks ago, I opened the screen to blackness, but the system was still chugging away. So, 5 seconds on the power button and a forced reset. Up comes the expected Safe Mode login screen, and I enter the password... Failed. So I enter it again, confirming each keystroke as I go... Failed. Hmm.. Restart... Safe Mode, same result, wth? I thought, "OK, I'll show you." Advanced Restart, Wipe Everything... Failed. How the heck? Just wipe! Nope.
Eventually, I worked it out without losing everything on the laptop (which has been running faultlessly since 2012, I will add). It turned out that there was a command line set of operations that would reset the password cache or something, and then I was able to login as per normal.
Also, I will add that this error has popped up occasionally since at least Windows 7.
Win 10 for me is very solid, and removing the Edge browser icon was as good as deleting it. Opera runs rings around it anyway, and has a built-in VPN.
Also, I liked Windows Vista. I'm a tinkerer, and Vista let me customise quite a lot to my liking.
