Really? How often? I have "active hours" set and I rarely get more than one reboot per month. Same with network connections, and what they're doing. Some recorded facts would be more interesting than your impressions...
MS really needs to get their shit together especially on the laptops.
Our laptops are not having problems but they are in regular use...

I block all those apps now with Windows firewall except firefox, chrome and Windows defender.
Also you can check out the default windows firewall config and see how many out going connections are allowed AND CONNECTED by default.
I always configure my system network security by default disable ALL and only selected app/ports are allow connect to internet.
Win10 firewall is completely opposite - its default configure for outgoing are "Allow ALL".
I absolutely hate the constant force update/reboot from Win10 and the huge amount background / network activities/connections.
After most of the win10 background networks connections are blocked and force update/reboot is disabled with Windows firewall, the system are usable now.
I tried and found the new Linux subsystem not useful at all. Real Linux inside virtualbox worked much better for my own use.
Searching the net with firefox/google is much faster than Cortana. I found and installed the 8 year old discontinued "Google Desktop Search" Windows App and it can search files in my location system with 100 times better results and so much faster than latest Cortana/SearchUI.
VSCode is very good.
Visual Studio 2015 is just huge complex monster. Took hours to download and install. I tried download a few popular opensource packages (Python, winscp, ... etc) and used VS2015 community edition to build - all failed to build for one reason or another.
