I never had an issue via USB on Windows 10, no matter if USB 2.0 or 3.0.
When you say that windows shuts down during playback, what exactly are you using? Spotify, Tidal, Foobar, Youtube, gaming? Or does it happen no matter what you're using?
Do you have any other sound device connected to your computer, like an onboard soundcard or any other DAC?
Are you using any software in exclusive mode, like Foobar or Tidal?
Do you use any kind of EQ software, like Sonarworks?
I'll show my setting, so you can check if they are the same.
First of all, check your XMOS driver version (Post

Playback device Control Panel:
- Disable any other device but the Sabaj D5. Even HDMI connected to the monitor.
- If you have more than one device enabled, sometime Windows sets two of them as active, which can cause some problems.
* Right click on the list to check the options for show/hide Disabled and Disconnected devices.
* Right click over them to disable.
