I have had exactly the same problems with Windows 10. But my machine is a custom built desktop PC… ao it’s not someting limited to just a few types of machine. I also experienced at least 2 other serious problems:
1 I received a BSOD – with error message “CRITICAL PROCESS DIED” – on boot-up. This prevented me from even accessing Windows… thank heavens for a current back-up.
2. No matter what I tried I could NOT get drag and drop to work.
Methinks there are still too many bugs yet to be sorted out – so I have also rolled back to Windows 7 (which still works just fine).
I will be sitting on my hands – and using Windows 7 – for at least the next 9 months!

W10 installed without a hitch on 2 laptops and 2 desktops, including one custom built. But on the other custom built desktop (all on W7), but on the other custom desktop, it kept failing. I tried all the suggestions: unplug all USB devices other than keyboard and mouse (and changed to wired keyboard and mouse), remove video driver, disable antivirus, unplug all other internal hard drives. Nothing worked, and the last try fried the boot sector on my SSD. When I get it back up and running, I am going to hide the W10 update and remain content with W7 (home premium) because it did the job and I should have been happy with it instead of trying to get the next thing.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) with legal case management software (PCLaw). My software is a few versions behind, in need of an upgrade, but given how little I use it, it is not worth the investment at this time. My version of PCLaw does not work with IE9. It does work with IE8. Given that I use IE only when I have to, I do not see the need to upgrade to IE9. I would like to have more legal business to justify the upgrade of PCLaw, then I would not have such issues. (By the way, it took me a while to figure out that IE9 was the culprit when I had issues with PCLaw. I read posts about other software conflicts, leading me to my solution to unistall IE9.)
