Which is why I was asking if there was any kind of quality study / survey / anything better than opinions around this, because as you say the anecdotes in my anecdote arsenal seem to be quite a bit different from other folk (or at least other highly verbal folk) on the internet.


I agree with you SCdF. Win 10 has been the most reliable Windows for me since 3.11, except maybe late-stage XP when all the worst bugs had worked out. I think it’s always the case that people that have bad experiences are going to be vocal, because you don’t go around talking about “oh hey, everything worked normally today.”

The deletion bug WAS pretty bad, but it also affected a VERY tiny group within the subset of users that had opted in to experimental/advanced-preview updates.


All previous versions of Windows stabilized because they were more or less feature complete. The problem with W10 is that it’s continuously in motion. 1809 becomes stable, but before you know it you’re on 1903 and the trouble starts all over again.
