I use O&O shutup 10 to shut down cortana, telemetry, and other minor annoyances (mostly because I like video games). Maybe that's why it's been so smooth? And rebooting every other week? You mean on a very regular and predictable monthly schedule that was around for years prior to Windows 10's release? Not really a problem in my eyes. On my personal computer I shut it down nightly because it takes roughly 5 seconds to boot a computer these days. I can't even remember the last time I was aware an update happened. The one problem I DID have that I was about to hate on Microsoft for was a flashing taskbar. Turns out it was entirely my fault for using a 3rd party junk program.
