After upgrading to Windows 10 my Thunderbird 38.1.0 is freezing for about 1 min or more once start type reply or new message. It keeps hanging every other minute. Very annoying to type a message. Did not happen with Win7, just when upgraded to 10. In addition it give s me error "Can not save in draft. Sending fail" however I am not trying to send anything, just typing.

Matt gave this answer Only windows 10 specific I have seen so far is that the network adapter needs to be reset on some upgrades to allow programs other than Edge internet access. It is a command line process that is fixed, as I understand it, in this weeks role up for Windows 10. So basically just tell anyone with issues to look for this weeks Windows 10 fixes.

No wonder Chrome is experiencing similar issues but not as severe as TB
