How old is your PC? Have you run any CPU/Mem/Graphics diagnostics recently? Debugged any of the crash dumps?
These symptoms seem like something might be up with your hardware.

2.5 years, it's a Lenovo W530, with updated video drivers from Nvidia. Run windows 7 just fine, Ubuntu, gaming, multiple VMs. It's a beast, just can't handle windows 10 low quality.

Still doesn't mean that there isn't an underlying issue. I'd say hardware if you did a clean install or drivers if you did an upgrade.
Grab something like WhoCrashed and you may be able to find the culprit

I don't think reading let alone debugging crash dumps is a viable option for most users

No, it definitely isn't. But for most HN readers it is. I'm happy to help anyone who reads this. The last crash dumps for a BSOD are often in c:\windows\MiniDump for a short amount of time after the crash.
My mouse would double click instead of click, had to drop enhanced power mode in using the device manger on every USB port.
I got BSOD when going full screen on youtube - had to disable hardware acceleration.
I got BSOD when pressing F5 in powerpoint....
I lost the ability to open the start menu after SP1 - a problem that exists since windows 8... I had to revert to the previous build.
If the new Microsoft means no QA... I'd rather have the old one....
