Are they?

I've installed in a couple places with varied results. Compared to 8.1, most things seems a little better/smoother. When it doesn't work though, it's been kind of annoying and stupid. Like one computer wouldn't upgrade with a gopro plugged in. Why? No idea. Also, privacy concerns. I would say; if you are a tinkerer and want a new toy, go for it. If you just want a computer to do what you expect it to do, wait. The evil you know is better than the evil you don't.

I upgraded to Windows 10 on 3 separate computers running Windows 8.1 and found no issues. One was an old laptop, another is my own computer with decent hardware, and another older desktop computer. All are working fine and the users are happy with the upgrades.

Well I just upgraded today, and now I'm experiencing a very slight, yet noticable, and kind of annoying bug.

I'm not sure how to describe it so I don't know what to google, but basically whenever playing music I occasionally get weird freezes, like a skipping CD player.

I've manufactured an example here: Example audio file

Anyway if anyone has experienced this or has any tips feel free to post.

My audio driver is the default windows one, installing the realtek one causes absurd CPU usage.

This actually happens to me on Windows 7, too. I'm using a BlueRigger optical audio cable to hook my PC up to my home theater system. I've been looking for solutions on and off for months, to no avail. The only thing that seems to help is changing the power plan to "Balanced". I think it probably has something to do with interference from the CPU/mobo. (I have a Sabertooth Z87 and i7 4770k (not overclocked))

I also get some crackling/distortion, sometimes, which can be fixed by muting/unmuting the audio.

Well I fixed it by uninstalling the audio driver and rebooting.

I get a click or pop now when playback begins if nothing has played for a while, but it's much better than before.

There is nothing that stands out as a serious bug once you get settled in. Most issues will occur from the upgrade itself. The biggest advice I can give is to use DDU to clean out all traces of your drivers if you have Nvidia or AMD and install windows 10 graphics drivers fresh. I would imagine that an upgrade from 7 would have the potential for more smaller issues than 8.1 because of driver compatibility, but I've had no real complaints.

I upgraded when it was first available to Sweden and the first day it kept crashing. But it's been stable today and haven't had any problems at all. The UI is something I still need to get used to though. I love the new way the explorer works, especially being able to access recently used folders. The only thing I miss is being able to downgrade the sound card drivers to the version that allows to adjust the volume to always be at the same level. In the newer drivers, they are removed.

Bad Rats apparently does not work on Windows 10, XD.
