I have never had Windows 10 interrupt any game I've been playing to tell me about an update. I suppose it could do that if you have it set to notify you but then who's fault is it?
I game all the time, never had any issues with Win10 updates, apart from that one WU where your OS was listed as not activated any more, was fixed within a few days however. In general good as any of my older Operating Systems, stability is great for me even with my overclocks, no brainer for me to stay on 10, nothing broke, rock stable and does what I want. For a new build I would go 10, especially as a gamer, since a lot of new games will be 10 only, do you really want to be caught out running 7 which is on the way out anyway and find out some games or hardware not compatible.
It's all fine to stay on 7 but you restrict yourself and sooner or later you have to move on, it may be in one years time,three years or ten years but you will move on.

Vista was fine, the problem that it had was the very high system hardware requirements.
I don't know why you are not annoyed that Windows 7 sucks particularly bad in the department that it doesn't support modern hardware, everything you name it - Ryzen CPUs, high-DPI screens, DirectX 12, numerous new peripheral devices.
Cause
This error occurs because new processor generations require the latest Windows version for support.
Any reason to even consider Windows 7?
I recently upgraded from 7 to 10 after years of refusing to upgrade (had the same install of Win7 running since 2010.) I decided to go with a fresh clean install rather than upgrade due to fears of something failing. I backed my data onto an external HDD and everything has gone smoothly really (no game or driver problems.)
The only difference is in performance, I've noticed that the desktop sometimes acts funny, like desktop icons will change location when running some games/apps for the first time. Also I use Fences and it's not as responsive as it was in Win7 and it takes longer for saved files to appear etc. Not sure if thats a software issue or its because of my aging i5 2500k not being upto the Win10 standard.
The problem with the whole "it's time to move on" is that normally we get the bonus of being able to move onto a better operating system than the one we're coming from. But Windows 10 still has a long way to go in that regard.
Hate to say it, but Windows 10.
I was still on 7 a couple of months back, and was saying all the time, no way am i going to Windows 10, its always hosing your rig everytime it updates, its just broken etc... etc..., so im staying on Windows 7, but i decided to get a whole new rig, with Windows 10 on, so i could keep my Windows 7 rig, if Windows 10 did indeed keep hosing, so i could go back to it, but nope, ive had no issues at all with it so far, every updates gone fine.
Yes there are issues for some, Start Bar breaking, High CPU Usage etc..., but ive had absolutely no issues at all, so im eating my words at present
My Windows 7 rig, is just sitting in my spare room, collecting dust at present.
Besides, the new Ryzens and the x570 chipset, aren't supported on Windows 7 either, so you would have to do some ******* about, to get them working.
Windows 10 always seems to work better for some people than others - my dad's desktop rarely takes more than 10 minutes to update even on the bigger updates and never seems to break after an update despite being one of the messier systems as it gets used by my nephews, etc. when they visit. The only problem he has had is the odd time when Windows update has kicked in at a bad moment - usually when he has been up later than usual working on stuff.
People who only have one PC and use a system daily within something close to a 9-5 working existence and leave the system on overnight probably have much less issue with Windows update than someone like me with multiple Windows 10 systems that get used sporadically, don't leave them on between being used, live all kinds of odd hours and have a more diverse than typical usage for an OS where Windows 10's update behaviour is completely obnoxious, rude and unacceptable.
my Win10 laptop (no.3) rarely gets used ie three to four weeks or months just for updates,drivers etc
1903 wouldn’t update for me because I had a USB drive connected. Wired I know.So I got my new PC up and running and went with Win10.
Part of me is enjoying the 'new feeling' of tinkering with something unfamiliar.
Nothing overly terrible has happened yet, but just a few bullet points.
* On multiple monitors, I hate clicking a file explorer on one window and having the window open on another. Still, I think Win7 acted the same?
* Unsure why no matter how many times I click update, it's not giving me the option for 1903 (I'm on 1803), kinda weird.
* Hate how folders look like office docs with all that crap underneath 'file' 'home' 'share' etc etc...
* Still haven't edited my start menu to get rid of those stupid tiles. Is there an easy way?
So far so good I guess
