Didn’t Windows have the same issue too?

Wasn't that mostly due to Windows, which has since been fixed?

Does this only happen on Windows Home?

That does sound like a Windows bug. In that case, disregard my previous message.

Is the unreliable hardware causing problems for Windows users?

Given the problems arise after every Windows update it doesn’t seem to improve anything

Wouldn't Pro versions of Windows don't have this mess?

It's not just slow on Windows, but BSOD shutdowns/reboots as well.

Does Windows not have those same fundamental problems?

Sounds more like a problem with stupid Windows design choices than with anything you did.
