You got lucky getting by with only 2 issues, I've lost count and since abandoned the OS.

When I upgraded my 8GB RAM, i7 machine (what should be a decent bit of kit) I experienced continual problems.

Sound drivers would just stop working, the OS would completely forget that there were even speakers. The cause would always change and there would always be a different, stressful, time consuming fix. This was not an uncommon problem, I found myself in a large crowd with these faults.

Later I found myself joining plenty others in losing networking abilities after forced updates. My WiFi drivers would vanish and intermittently reappear, pretty much like the sound issue.

Every update MS pushed led to another time-sucking issue to patch up, I would dread the next update.

The continual problems caused by Windows 10 made me go out and buy a Mac. I don't want anything to do with Windows anymore. After suffering through the Windows Phone, Windows 8 and now Windows 10 I'm completely done with MS. It's so sad to see the company just turn itself to trash, I used to be a huge fan.
