Windows 10 just keeps taking a dump all over me

[Danimal1q2w3]

Got my free upgrade of Windows 10. Did the upgrade and decided that I would rather have a clean install than an upgrade. No problem right? I go to install Windows 10 from scratch and it gets stuck on a screen that says something along the lines of we are setting up your apps. Then it said that this is taking longer than expected. But it never progressed from this point. After consulting Google people had commonly gotten stuck here and just said that if you force a hard restart that it will resume where it left off and be good to go. So I did that and I think something was corrupted because so many gui things didn't work. Couldn't use the start button, couldn't right click on anything. Startup took forever. And this was all off an SSD. So i reinstall again and everything is running beautifully and flawlessly for about a week. Then when my video card arrives in the mail (it was being shipped from evga because of an RMA) I popped that sucker in ready to fire up some rocket league and immediately Windows 10 became totally unusable again. Same exact problems as before, nothing would open, nothing could right click, no start menu. So I reinstalled AGAIN and it was working good for a few days until just ten minutes ago when I notice my CPU usage is through the roof alternating 100% at each core on my i7 and totally unusable, can't right click the file explorer takes forever to load can't open the start menu. I'm done with Windows 10 for now until this shit can get fixed. I wanted it for dx12 gaming but why bother it's a headache. Have you guys had any similar problems? What's going on here? Sorry for the wall of text but I'm all fired up over having to install Windows for the hundredth time this month and needed a place to vent (and hopefully find some answers)

I got a bad introduction to windows 10 as well: I started to get micro stuttering on games and backed up to w7 right away. And yes, I got all the right drivers (and re installed)

DX12 games are coming late 2016, so no use upgrading now. I recommend waiting to this summer, w10 should be free until then.

Any hints in Windows event viewer, like i/o-waits?
