Users have reported agonisingly slow boot-up speeds, wifi issues and problems with child safety features following the jump to Windows 10.
The news comes days after it was revealed Microsoft was working on a major update for its latest operating system, which featured a visual refresh.

The Redmond firm included the software, which tracks every keystroke made on the Windows 10 device, to try and improve its products and services.
Voice data is also collected and analysed every time virtual assistant Cortana is used on the desktop operating system.
