Incredible that you “still love it”. I would have send the f*cker back in a heartbeat. Obviously the seller messed with the tablet or it wasn’t a new one to begin with. Try to return it and buy another (new) one from a trusted seller. I’ve bought mine 2 weeks ago (gearbest) and have none of the problems described above. Maybe try a new clean install to solve your problems if you’re unable or don’t want to return it. Here’s a link with everything you need to make it work perfect. At least that’s how it worked out for me. Goodluck.
find the attached switchnow exe(rename .jpg to .exe).
Try to disable network card and do a restart to see if it restarts properly. (when the network card is unresponsive, my hi12 would do the same with staying in the restart screen)
Thanks so much Randula, SwitchNow works perfectly. Mysteriously the restarting issues in Windows 10 have not reappeared. I will double check the hard drive/usb issues a little later.
