Windows 10 issues/acting up

[Mr.Meerkat]

So...windows 10, I've have had it installed for 2 hours, found a few issues already...

Issues:

• Takes about 5 mins to launch a game...(this is probably caused by all three of my drives being overloaded with downloads and transfers)
• Can't alt tab in windowed borderless (works fine in fullscreen mode but ewwwww)
• Games are crashing for no apparent reason (like going into CSGO and opening up the esc menu in a game or f10 menu while searching for a match in R6S).
• The volume icon doesn't actually allow me to control the volume of my USB sound card...(yes I know I have a physical knob on the Sound card and media keys on my keyboard but still)

They aren't big issues except how I have the patience of a toddler (and it's probably my fault), not being able to alt tab is pissing me off and crashing that's quite a big issue actually. I didn't have these issues with windows 7 so...why now eh? 

 

Any ideas?  (specifically the crashing bit and why alt tabbing in windowed borderless isn't working). 

 

Did a little research and it seems that windows 10 hates alt tabbing...fu*king hell, fix is windows+D but how am I supposed to get used to that...

Win + D?

What, create a macro so when I press alt tab it win Ds? There's a slight issue tho...how do I alt tab back into the game?

Alt tab works fine for me... Use intel's drivrr update utility (if you have an intel build) and that might fix issues...

Create a macro for Win + D.

But does it work specifically for borderless windowed mode? It works for full screen and windowed mode but I need it  to work for borderless windowed mode  (and yes I've noticed how the desktop tab isn't there but alt tabbing to other things like chrome doesn't work either so...)

It's all caused by the spyware windows 10 comes with.

The only possible solution is phoning up NSA and asking them to leave some of the system resources for you.

Half of my games run borderless windowed because the activate windows watermark shows up

Problem is if I use win d, I can't actually tab back into the game if I do anything that involves another window/tab/progam...

Do you have any other programs open like Firefox?

what do you think...why would I not keep steam, chrome, opera, Discord/TS/skype open? What's the point of alt tabbing if I wasn't going to interact with something?

There's an issue with Firefox that blocks short-cuts or multi-key inputs from activating. Are all of your devices properly recognized in Device Manager?
