The 10 Hz repetition rate HF-2PW laser of ELI ALPS, which was designed to operate at 300 W average power, is being commissioned during the first ramping up phase. The system is currently running at the 10 J energy level and full energy compression was demonstrated for >2 hours of continuous operation with a pulse duration of 23 fs. Day-to-day operation represents an important milestone among next generation high peak and average power laser systems. During this period, fine tuning of pulse parameters, investigation of stability and reliability of the system is performed. Valuable experiences during operation are discussed in this paper.
