I've been experiencing a number of issues with UEFI laptops in the past years. I was always under the impression that, after installing an ubuntu partition and grub, the Windows 10 partition was seemingly slower to some extent, but I have never paid attention at that too much given that I was not having first hand experience and/or any way to test my assumptions.
However, I have recently bought a new HP Spectre x360, and I have installed Ubuntu on it. For the past two months, I've had countless issues with it, ranging from components not working properly (e.g. audio, keyboard, touchscreen, touchpad), to system taking forever to boot and having countless issues and crashes before logging in (DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE was the main one; sometimes it took me 10 attempts at booting into Windows).
Now, in the process of sending it over to HP for repairs, I have cleaned up Windows, removed ubuntu and removed grub. And voilà!! No issues whatsoever. The laptop works like a charm, and I am yet to experience any single issue.
My question is: has anybody experienced something like this? Do you think it may be because I have done something wrong during installation? I have installed ubuntu on 100+ computers for the past 15+ years, but I admit that I haven't paid much attention at what's the best strategy to install on a UEFI laptop. Might that be the culprit? I also haven't found any hints online..it's usually Windows that messes up with ubuntu/grub, not the other way around!

How much did you shrink the NTFS partition. Many Windows slow downs are because NTFS really needs 30% free to work well. And at 10% free do you not have much space to do a defrag. Otherwise Windows does not 'see' Linux partitions so it just about cannot be a Linux issue.

Great observation @oldfred . However, I have left 300GB in my windows partition (and more than 200GB are free), hence that's not the problem. Moreover, I am not experiencing slowdowns, but strange random hardware issues!!
