I spent a week trying to get it fixed (tried about 40 "fixes") — finally used a live Linux USB to back up her data and then rebuilt it from scratch.

Stability is more important to me than not having to work around proprietary Windows software applications.
I have never had a Windows Update cause Windows not to work. I've been using Windows since 3.1 and that's on a number of different computers. Here I have a desktop, laptop, and Surface Pro 2 all running Windows 10 1903.

I've never had a Windows Upgrade botch anything. I've never had to do a clean install of Windows because of problems with the existing Windows.

So for me, Windows just works.
