Hmm, it sounds like I'm hearing this for the first time but it's true, anyways I never like mining on windows OS for few reasons and as per hashrate issue mining on Linux OS works better and also we have hive OS and other mining OS now so I don't need windows OS, it's too buggy

To buggy for you. Please don't always generalize windows 10, if good guided people use windows, then there is no difference between windows and linux, but windows is user friendly, because most people can handle it.

Windows runs for month without restart or problems, same on linux. I need 5minutes to setup a new windows rig and i need 5minutes to setup a new linux rig

Windows forced updates ruins anything good about windows for miners.  Plus the TOS for Windows makes it a no go for me. 
Sledgehammer is a utility that will disable Windows updates. I have it installed on W10 mining rigs.
What is a sledgehammer? Is there any link or source that talks more about the sledgehammer? I hated windows 10 because of its updates, unnecessary data consumptions and others, believe me I've tried all I can to stop updates but it still happens
