I've heard BSOD since the 90s. I've had 2 MAYBE 3 in 20 years, usually when a piece of hardware like a HD failed.

That's like 5-6 different PCs and, what, 6 or 7 iterations of Windows? PC is almost always on over those 20 years, because I've had my PC as a DVR ever since the HDTV Wonder and Windows Media Center first came out.

I've had occasional bugs. Just a month or so ago, the WinUpdate labelled me as missing my OS Product Key. I took a deep breath and waited for BBs to start discussing the problem. Within a day or so the matter was resolved and Windows corrected their update.

Edge and Chrome have been pretty bad lately. Chrome hates Kinja, and Edge likes to lock up if you have too many tabs that auto-update and contain video. But even then, I can shut down a tab or two or switch between browsers to get what I want. Never get a full-on freeze.
I'm usually the guy people come to with IT problems and if I can't offer solutions, I can nudge in the correct direction to help them solve their own problems and I have no idea what is not jiving between this PC and Win10.

This is just a Hail Mary pass after YouTube, Tom's Hardware Guide, and countless other proposals that didn't work. It sounds like Win10 overall works but just not on this 11 year old desktop.
