I don't get the regular crashes on my Win10 desktop I use for all my side projects and gaming at home. However, what I do see:
- Firefox freezes constantly requiring force-quits. Reinstalls and updates don't help much. Probably Firefox's fault.
- Mouse randomly clicks off in a different monitor, or in the upper left corner, losing application focus. While a minor annoyance while typing, photoshopping, using hotkeys, it makes me flip my shit when I'm gaming.
- Wakes up from sleep without reason or indication or any way to stop it: The actual fuck. This is the worst. I have fiddled with every setting and registry entry that has anything to do with the computer's sleep state, captured logs to view activity leading to power on and after, changed OS's, formatted, switched hard drives, everything. This bugs the shit out of me, as my aging desktop is loud and hot and makes my bedroom a terrible place to sleep. I have scripts and shortcut keys from my wireless headphones to put my computer back to sleep from my bed, but what the heck is this anyway.
These are all random quality of life improvements that shouldn't need to be so hard to put in place.
- soupbowl 9y agoI have the same issue with one of my computers coming out of sleep at random. It is the only real issue I have had with windows 10 but it is extremely annoying.
- dyukqu 9y agoI have a Win10 laptop which it's performance is nowhere near a gaming machine. 3 Firefox flavors are installed on it (2 of them with a lot of extensions) and I don't remember the last time I've seen them crash or require force-quits. Don't have a good guess about the experience you have been through with it. About that mouse issue; have you ever tried a different mouse or reinstalling it's driver? I don't know Mac and I don't remember how it was on Linux, but if a mouse clicks or moves just a little bit, that wakes the system up on Windows machines. Till you got the random mouse clicks, it looks like it's a #1 suspect.
