Windows 10 malfunctions on Asus U36SD

I recently upgraded my ASUS U36SD Windows 7 64 bit to Windows 10 after my laptop was declared OK to upgrade by Windows 10 app.

1. It worked fine for few days

2. Yesterday, it suddenly shuts down and power button starts malfunctioning. It would blink on power on and then won't work

3. After doing a lot of things, I pressed F4 while booting and the start button started blinking and finally started working

4. Windows 10 started working again but only as administrator, as a user it malfunctions i.e. start menu and few other things won't work and windows will run very slow

5. I restored windows to early point to undo any changes if made by me but the situation is the same

Any advice on how to fix start menu, search and speed of the windows 10?

UPDATE:

Created a new user account and everything works fine in that account but in the old user account start menu, Microsoft Edge and some other apps don't work.

UPDATE 2:

Had to delete the problematic user account after shifting its data to new user account. The deleted user account was working fine in windows 7 before the upgrade.

I have also stopped automatic driver updates for the device. Now I'll run the device for few days if it continues to work properly.

UPDATE 3:

Windows STORE app still does not work properly despite installing all updates.

Thanks for sharing this information, I am thinking of installing Windows 10 on my U36SD.

Has anyone else installed Windows 10 on their U36SD or a similar Asus? What has been your experience?

Just installed clean copy of win 10. Some drivers are missing:

- asus atk, function keys for volume and brightness are not working

- multi touchpad doesn't work, worked fine on win 7 (dual finger scroll, etc). Tried installing original Synaptics but still multitouch doesn't work

- Bluetooth doesn't work (never worked on 8 also)

Asus doesn't support win 8 and 10 for u36sd unfortunately. And btw they said (officially) that they will support at least 8 when I was buying laptop (win7 time). Big disappointment in asus after this experience.

Guess I won't upgrade after all then since I use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse a lot. Plus, running Windows 7 is basically stable so why mess with what's not broken.

After installing windows 10 my sound is completely broken and the sound icon on the bar says "no audio output device is installed". I tried many things (install different drivers) but to no avail. Unfortunately I can no longer downgrade to windows 7. Any advice?
