Too unstable and too slow on Windows 10 x64 in any compatibility mode or without one.
Splitting a video may take minutes regardless of the CPU/GPU/RAM.
Export may hang or crash at any moment if you have some speed effects applied to any part of any clip.
The preview is laggy, can't handle multiple tracks in full speed even if one of them is an audio.
Can't handle somewhat big files (2+Gb) without freezes and/or crashes.
If you must use a free software - give KDENLive a try. It has issues under Windows too, but not so many.
Looks like it has great potential, but kept crashing in my Quad-Core Windows 10 machine.
As others mentioned already: crashes
Agreed. Can't even get the damn thing past opening it. Window flickers and there's some splash screen where there's a checkbox "don't show this again at startup" that can't even be checked. Uninstalled. (Version 2.4, Xubuntu 16.04.) suspect some dependencies missing or wrong versions called for, or permissions not set properly on install (from ppa or deb, either one.)

This software is terrible. It lacks features, the UI is 20th century and it crashes. Everything takes ages to accomplish. The first (and only!) project I used it for, was completely scrambled beyond repair not one, but two times by a buggy undo/redo function, costing me almost a full day of work. Stay away from this. It will not give you any joy or let you accomplish any work in a remotely reasonable time. I read it has been like this for years now, without any substantial improvement. Its "cousin" ShotCut, which is based on the same framework, suffers from similar problems. You can not polish a turd! Sometimes it is better to let a project die instead of perpetually dragging people into it and wasting their time.
I had zero problems when using Shotcut, I don't know where did you get your information from. I didn't use OpenShot to judge but Shotcut was the most reliable one in free editing software.

Can't read localized filenames. Crashes all the time.
