I would guess its a hardware issue. My last laptop had a bad hard drive. The one I'm on now has severe allergies to opening multiple windows ( I blame the video driver). I hope santa brings me a nice laptop (i7 8700k) for Christmas!

Win10Pro 1803 and 1809 at work as NEW deployments. WSUS sits for a month before I approve updates for installation.

Marcus, mark that internet connection as billable, so you can approve updates.

If you are using an HP image, look up decrapifier. First thing on my new system deployment list.

My wife has an HP laptop from work with a corporate image that BSoDs. Needs constant reboots and Bluetooth checks out all the time.

I have an out of the box Surface Book 2 and AAD joined to my corporation. I have zero issues.

The problem is not win 10. The problem is crappy drivers and/or crappy hardware

Too bad it’s EOL next year. I’m at about 65% win10 adoption now trying to get the remaining 35% done. As for my Mac population, they end up going to a surface pro or laptop and perfectly happy. If they keep the MacBook, they end up using it as a VDI terminal to a windows 10 environment lol.

I've been having this stuff going on for awhile--gotten blue screens, black screens, stuck on update with grey screen, stuck on update with black screen, etc. Usually I have to hard reset three times to have previous windows restored. Never have a restore point or am able to repair. I just did a maneuver : Windows button +R and go down in service list to windows update. Then disable, apply and ok. Let you know if that helps.

I tried this a few weeks ago and yesterday the update thing started and the windows update in services was set to manual. Basically, Windows 10 just does what it wants at some point.

One thing I did do when this started months ago was buy a solid state, high capacity external storage drive and just put everything on that so If I lose my computer the biggest loss will be having to re-install ISTA-D.

I'll check into it. Thanks.

But, I have no qualms with HP. This one has been running strong for a couple of years now. I have an even older HP that is still working and never got a bsod. I have a touchscreen Toshiba running 10 but not set for auto updates. It's been perfect.
I've been reading how most of these antivirus software! : Norton, AVS, etc, are full 9f bloatware and also conflict with Windows updates. So I'm gonna just stick with Defender and Malwarebytes and see how that goes.

Not with their hardware, but all the HP reporting tools and associated bloatware. Plus all the M$ bloatware. decrapifier leaves you with a Win10 box that looks mostly like Win7. Don't have all those "essential apps" sucking up yur bandwidth that you don't even know you don't need in the Metro interface.

Some of the AV are indeed bloat-ish as well, but none worth any money block Win updates. For home use, I always go with AVG Free, since I can put up with its monthly offers for increased services I don't need.

Until recently, that's what I thought w/ the new machine I built at the end of last year. All things seemed okay until a couple of months ago when it froze while printing an e-mail (and playing music). I managed to get to safe mode once and that was the last time my PC booted beyond BIOS. Processor shit the bed and had to be replaced.

Sometimes HW goes slow and sometimes not.

Bad news... Just got a HP Black screen with the following:

SMART Hard Disc Error - Imminent Failure.

So now I need to determine if I should buy and replace the HD and keep using this. Or simply replace the entire machine? Ffffffffffck!
I use my laptops for different purposes. This one handles my day to day stuff: emails, surfing, work stuff. Whereas my other two: One dedicated entertainment and streaming (Toshiba)
And another mostly my Boys use it for homework and ocassional gaming.

Suggestions? PC only.

Windows ten is horrible. It is very slow and the constant updates are very annoying.

Hopefully someone else comes to market with a legitimate competitor. Apple is there, but I would like at least two viable options.

This is what I have in my main laptop. Works great and it's smoking fast.
