It's not even hardware in this case. It's a combination of bugs in LTspice and Windows 10 1803. We've had lots of software fail our build QA process so far at work that passed in the last drop. 1803 is a turd.
But it's running on my 1803 Surface book with no problems whatsoever. Why do the problems have to be with LTSpice or Win 10? They probably are but there are plenty of counter-examples.
And if your update settings were correct, you wouldn't have been pushed to 1803. That upgrade is for the 'Targeted' systems, those that are known to likely work. The other group are considered enterprise users and the upgrade hasn't been pushed to that group. That's why I have 1803 on my Microsoft Surface Book (of course it will work) but not on my homebuilt tower. Yes, I went in and checked the settings.
I could change the settings and allow my tower to be 'Targeted' but I don't see the point. There's nothing in the upgrade that I want. Maybe later when it has been out for awhile.
For ref I use Linux mostly too, Xubuntu at home and CentOS 7 at work. The resulting platform is orders of magnitude more stable. I also have to support legacy Windows targets which means I have both a Windows and Linux workstation at hand.
Tried getting NVIDIA drivers for the latest and greatest graphics card? Recompiling the drivers every time the kernel changes? Always fun! How about any new hardware? Sure, Linux supports the old stuff, it's the new stuff it doesn't have drivers for. The manufacturers have no interest in 2% of the market so they won't write them and the developers have to take the long way around to discover how the latest gadget works.
WRT Windows 10 the most annoying thing is that every time I reboot I have to remove and add my printer before it will even admit that the damn thing is on line. MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android all just print!
How old is the printer? Sure, if it's an old Okidata dot matrix, there may be a problem. I don't seem to lose my P2550 LaserJet or my Color LaserJet. Even if I did have to reinstall, it's only a couple of clicks and Win 10 searches my network and lists all the printers. Pretty simple. What I do have is the P2550 drops its network connection and I need to reboot the printer. I'm not sure why that happens.
Actually, Linux Mint is also pretty simple to configure. I like it a lot. In fact, for software development, I prefer it simply for the *nix tools. I also like Bash on Win 10. It works very well for command line projects.
