Perhaps you should read a little bit about what a kernel is. I can give you a hint, if windows 10 got a new "kernel" does that mean that windows 3.11 can start using it? Hey, they are both windows, right.
Is it? Not even to test if the problems go away? I shouldn't say that. Ofcoz you can turn of firewalls and other kind of "protections" to see if that help with a problem.
