Windows 10, with the BSOD-prone Creators fall update, is calming down

I wonder if we have finally got there with Windows 10’s many BSOD crashes.

   The cumulative Windows update (KB4058258) released a couple of days ago may have helped, too—if it did, it showed that Microsoft had released a lemon with the fall Creators update and rushed to fix things. The number of fixes during the month of January alone suggested that they knew that the OS was iffy. That update was installed yesterday.
