Curious. I have both the Creator's Update and the Fall Creator's Update installed here, and neither caused problems. (The Creator's Update
fixed some problems, like Edge being non-functional.)
I don't use Mail, and seldom use Store (the last time it was seeing what extensions are available for Edge), so losing them on the Taskbar wouldn't have been a killer.
The problem faced by MS is that when you have hundreds of millions of Windows installations out there, it doesn't matter how carefully you test -
somebody will get bitten by an oddity in an update, and be unhappy.
I had nagging problems with Win10 on my failed desktop that went away on the current one. The underlying issues proved to be inadequate hardware. Win10 would install on it, but have problems in use. Like, the quad core Xeon CPU in the failed machine was not on the supported list, and Win10 could only see/use two of the four cores. The i5-2400 in the current box
is supported, and all four cores are seen/used.
I'm actually happy with Win10 Pro here. It's fast and stable. The biggest win was discovering how to clear and reuse the SSD I used as boot drive in the failed desktop, so it could be repurposed and serve the same function. (Of course, the tool to do it turned out to be one I already had, but hadn't looked at closely enough, and I wasted a fair amount of time searching for something I already had...
