Hmm I had the exact opposite experience. It seemed to work pretty flawlessly for me. What type of issues did you experience?


Several BSODs, glitches with the virtual desktops, inconsistent fonts and layouts, multiple application (explorer) crashes, wifi connectivity problems, failures returning from sleep and standby, dozens of UI inconsistencies.


That doesn't sound at all like what I've been experiencing on Windows 10 TP. I've found it remarkably stable - it's now my main OS on my gaming rig and I use it daily. Outside of the occasional game incompatibility (usually fixed by patches for recent games), it's been the most stable version of Windows I've used in a long time.


TP is the more polished version. Weekly builds are worse, but I think that's to be expected and I wouldn't be worried.

Only weird thing is the browser - I haven't seen a version that could be considered even beta-ready. No way they are going to release something better than IE in just two months.


Windows 8 had tons of UI inconsistencies. You would move from a metro style control panel to an old, non-resizable grey winform with tabs. Windows 10 didn't really improve or worsen that.


Actually it improves a bit since more apps are rewritten and metro apps default to their own windows

Of course its far from being all consistent...


Which "ring" of updates are you on? Fast (it's gonna break) or slow (it's gonna break less)?


I have both fast and slow ring installs. I have found many problems with both, more with fast obviously.


Yeah, for a couple months, they broke video for both VMware and VirtualBox. That is, 3D and 2D had severe issues. Couldn't auto resize, couldn't get the right resolution (just the standard presets), couldn't use 3D accel. It was only fixed in 10074. That's a long time to break a huge feature and it really worries me. VMware is probably the largest single piece of hardware used.

I've not had any BSODs, but the UI in general is poor and glitchy.


I was not expecting that quick of a release. In the last month, I have encountered enough bugs that I was expecting at least fall. To pick two that sort of highlight the problems:

Unable to set static IP. Appeared to Work in GUI but not actually set.

Touchpad being available every other reboot. Device simply not detected.
