    Wow. I had full blue-screen system crashes every couple months at least, even daily at times, with XP and 7. I haven’t seen any with 10 or 11. But I’ve always kept them both pretty clean.

      I definitely had a few blue screens with XP over the years, maybe once every 5 or 6 months?

      7 was super stable on my hardware, I’ve probably had about the same amount of blue screens on that as I did on Windows 10, maybe about 4 or 5 from what I can recall. The bigger issue I had back then was AMD’s GPU drivers were insanely unstable at that point, resulting in constant green screen crashes from youtube videos.

      At least for me, blue screens haven’t been too much of an issue, especially since after they reboot, everything is still working as normal. That’s in contrast to Windows 11’s bugs introduced from updates, which often introduce a new persistent problem that a user either has to actively troubleshoot to resolve, or cannot resolve on their own, leaving them to wait until Microsoft pushes out a fix.

      Examples of that being:

      I personally consider the severity and frequency of these issues appearing in Windows 11 to be fairly unprecedented in the history of Windows, which happens to coincide with the QA team being fired.
