I get the idea that at some point in the Windows 10 project they made a kind of breaking change, which when compared to Kubuntu is more like moving to a new release than just a set of patches. There seems to be some cruft attached to that that the fresh install solves. I genuinely think it is a one time thing. My last Ubuntu distro upgrade caused the sound to stop working, a problem with graphics drivers and an issue with window management. I am no MS fan, but everyone can get caught up in update problems.
