I upgraded to Windows 10 about a month before the cutoff to do it for free was (I hate it). It pretty much has its way with my PC now. It updates itself and does whatever it wants regardless of whether I want it to or not. So yeah there might be some correlation there.
Prior to changing to the fresh install (which I put on my SSD, previous install was off my storage HDD) I ran all executables as admin and I think I tried some compatibility modes too (XP/SP2, etc).
