It took me 6 mins (clean installation) and then you just need to install your progs and stuff afterwards.
Well, when it cuts out i cannot access any network features and pings to the superhub time out till it "magically" comes back up.

I am not enjoying the thought of having Windows 10 "SPYWARE EDITION" on my system again, in fact I was being stubborn in using Win 7 right up till they stopped supporting it and my only other option was Win 8.1 which i actualy love, its just this feature/bug I cant get around.

If I have to i will do a reformat & reload on it and install updates 1 at a time till I find out the culprit (thinking it may be something to do with Microsoft Compatibility telemetry & COMPATTELRUNNER.EXE which I have manually deleted - dont need it and dont appreciate telemetrics)
but heres towards a long process of elimination lol
