Anyone using Windows 10 LTSC without having any issues with it?

So I've been using LTSC for my new computer for a couple of months now and while it didn't have perfect functionality from the start intentional or unintentional like a bunch of settings options missing, this is all I get now

Spoiler

But the last few weeks the problems I've been having with it is kicking into overdrive. Currently whenever I do anything processor heavy some random process (can be from Windows, Nvidia, Firefox etc) pushes CPU to 100% and either crashes or freezes my PC. I am aware that regular Windows 10 users have had problems with a patch doing similar things but that shouldn't even be a factor since LTSC isn't supposed to be making updates to your computer on its own volition.

 

Some of the things I've tried to fix it

- Q-flashing/updating MOBO BIOS

- Tried updating every driver I could get my paws on

- Remounting the CPU+cooler

- Mem86 test with flash drive

- Tried different overclock settings (which worked fine before)

- Set power settings back to ''balanced''

- Ran SFC and DISM scans

- Troubleshooting as many of the functionalities I could (though being unable to troubleshoot a lot of things intentionally or unintentionally due to LTSC)

 

So far I've had zero progress and I'm about ready to uninstall the OS since I'm only having problems with it. Is there anyone here who have used LTSC for a longer period of time without any issues or is it fundamentally broken and instead of reinstalling it's better to go for one of the regular versions of Windows 10?

Have you tried reinstall yet? This isn't hardware issue, and you have mostly done things which troubleshoot hardware problems. Sure you could verify it not being hardware by booting to another OS.

 

Are you sure this isn't somehow related to installer you used for LTSC?

Perhaps it is though I doubt so. Clearly something is very broken with my current OS so I'll try reinstalling LTSC through a different installer and if I'm still getting issues I'll go for one of the other Windows 10 editions instead. Normally I could just reset my OS but even that functionality is missing lol.

 

I wonder though, seeing as I've made a raid 10 through my MOBO with 4x6TB disks, will I be able to keep the data on it or will they be wiped as well if I reinstall my OS? I imagine they should be fine since the OS is on a separate 1TB SSD, right?

I'm not experienced with how RAIDs work, but Windows reinstalling only affects on OS drive.
