Case in point: I recently tried unzipping the Boost library on an up-to-date Windows 10, and after trying to move the frozen progress window after a minute, the whole desktop promptly crashed. I have to say, the experience is better than it used to be, because at least the taskbar reappeared on its own. (Decompression succeeded on the second attempt after leaving the whole computer well alone ... but it certainly took its time even on a high-end desktop computer.)
Could you please leave personal swipes out of your comments here? They have a degrading effect on discussion and evoke worse from others. Your comment would be just fine without the second sentence.
