Windows 10: Is Windows 10 Maintaining Its Speed Over Time?

After using most Microsoft OSs since Windows 3.1, I have always found that the speed of operations slowed down a lot after 2-3 years for reason unknown to me. But I have been running Windows 10 for three years and I have noticed no slowdown. I don't have any benchmarks to back up my observation, but I would like to hear if anyone else has observed this. Hopefully Windows 10 has an architecture that avoids the slow down, or perhaps it gets renewed with updates such as Creator. If the slowdown is a thing of the past then it is a major development and much appreciated.

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
