I've been using this since W10 came out. It works, but as others mention, some parts seem to stop working magically over time.

Its not magic. Its windows update happening in the background

I went from perfect system health , progressively into blue screen death, it got so bad that it happened every 2 hours after spiking my i7 to 100% cpu use. The decline happened within a month of a win10 update back in Aug/Sept.

A couple of MS support tickets and a windows reinstall later, I finally gave up had to do a complete fresh PC install to fix.

No issues since but i still get the occasional 100% cpu clock.

Ive also turned on windows10 selective update download.

Sounds like every Windows since 3.1. Instead of telemetry I wish they'd focus on making an OS that stays robust and performant indefinitely.
