Anyone else fed up with this piece of ***** OS? It seems to randomly hang every so often for a couple of minutes, the Edge Browser freezes. Seriously considering going back to W7.
I had Chrome and that lagged - "checking cache" locked it up as well. The only thing that's putting off downgrading is casting to my telly.
Works perfectly for me, really fast and this is running on my PC I bought about 5 years ago. Maybe you're hardware is faulty?
I loved Ubuntu. My wife hated it!
Me too, but I got done with some internet fraud thanks to the fact everyone says you don't need an anti virus/firewall on it so I shan't be using it again.
I recently had problems and it turns out Chrome has a setting that can break your laptop enabled by default, so that could be the issue as well. Option 5 on this.

I've found Windows 10 to be solid.
I work in IT so see it plenty. It has its annoyances, with the typical Microsoft moving options around in unintuitive places and adding an extra click to get it, but mainly thats for things you wouldnt use on a day to day basis. (eg VPN set ups).
Edge is crap, I always use Chrome as IE is too slow. They push Edge on people and hide IE, when Edge isnt even compatible with 365 functionality which annoys me regularly.
However as an OS its far better than that Windows 8 garbage.
