No, that's a bug in the recent firmware with the new home screen. The new features are displayed at each restart. Very annoying, except that I don't restart very often.

I might try writing a new firmware image to the card and see if that solves it (maybe even try a new SD card).
I'd also wonder if something hasn't been fried/damaged on the device if plugging it in to the computer USB causes it to crash -- although this could be a software problem from the device too I guess.
The imaging might work, or it could need a new SD card. It could also be one of the updates in Win10. Checking with another Windows machine might be a useful test.
