I concede - I know when I'm licked.
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.

Why don't I ever get visited by this magical Win10 fairy? I've been using Win10 on multiple machines since it was released and have never had a serious issue*. I feel so left out.
The worst I have had is my PC updated and rebooted overnight. When I relaunched my browser it did not reopen my last tabs. I was devastated but after much counseling, I recovered.

It only happens to people using their machine for work,
like people that drive 4WD's and never get off the tarmac - they never break their axle's etc.

When I arrived home last night, the only thing the Win10 fairy did for me was to shut my programs down and give me a new FireFox version.

No, but it seems like FF has a new build every week; so when I opened it up, I got version 57.0. I guess the FF Fairy visited too.

This happened to me the other morning...
You're in a dark cave looking out over a deserted beach...nevermind, just a 'scheduled' restart!
VS restarted the last two projects I had open, good.
Excel also restarted the half-dozen spreadsheets I had open (in recovery mode)...also good.
Multiple browser windows also opened, all to the home page...not great, but not that important either. 
SSMS launches and waits for connection selection, but of course, none of the tabs I had open the previous night recovered...nothing lost really, but annoying to get back to where I was. 
Notepad apparently has no ability to recover unsaved files...my scratch areas/notes from the previous day are just gone!...again, not terribly important by annoying nonetheless. 
So, while I'm thankful that most applications I use can recover from these unattended restarts, it still costs me time and effort when I'm caught off guard. 
I have tried multiple 'fixes' to prevent unattended restarts, but none have worked so far. I'll just have to be more diligent to make sure not to leave anything open/unsaved overnight that I can't stand to lose.

Instead of using Notepad, try Notepad++
I like it much better and when things go wrong, when I restart Notepad++, I seldom have lost anything.

Booted up to the dreaded "don't turn off your computer, we are busy screwing it up" message. This was followed up by a large representation of the command prompt... eg: black screen. Nothing worked but task manager, who was not very busy.
After 3 reboots and a copious amount of 4 letter words, it is (almost) back to normal. Until we meet again. Fortunately, virtual machines are easy to back up. But then MS would just update it again.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. <sigh>

Thanks, I actually run Windows only via VM, main OS is Mint (derivative of Ubuntu).
Clients still mostly W7, which isn't much better (if at all).

So you encounter problems when running Windows on top of Mint, while literally hundreds of millions of people have no problems when they do NOT run on top of Mint but on real hardware.
Then it MUST be the fault of Windows, not behaving the way Mint requires! That should obvious to anyone. Linux behaviour is an axiom that lies there as a basic foundation that cannot be questioned or challenged. By definition, it cannot have weaknesses: It is stated, not proved. Like the digit 1 - it simply is. Unarguable. The error is, by definition in the use of that digit. So it is with Linux: The error is not in Linux but in the use of it.

Except I've had no issues with Windows 10, updates or otherwise, but when I used Ubuntu last year, it was endless pain. (Early last year I installed Fedora on a system--vs VM--only to have it brick the system, which was odd since I've never had a single issue with it in VirtualBox [on the same system and others].)

That's an insult to Pigeons everywhere! Prepare to be bombarded to birds!

Still sounds better than having to own a Win10 system.
