I have games downloaded from Windows Store to my laptop which is running Win 10 version 1803 build 17134.376. Where can I get a controller for those games ? The mouse is not exactly ideal for some games. Thank you. P.S. The only video game console I have is Play Station 2. I am not a "gamer". So, forgive me if I use the wrong terminology.

In that tab I have to right-click the icon for my headphones, then click Connect. At that point the headphones...

I just converted my production PC from the plain-vanilla 1809 release to Insider Preview with updates, drivers and hotfixes only, because that's apparently how we keep up-to-date on MS fixes until a new blessed 1809 release finally emerges. So I just updated my Nvidia GeForce Driver to 416.81 and as it was finishing up the install, it threw a GSOD with Exception_not-handled as the stopcode and...

"Here’s the thing about Windows 10 Home. Microsoft considers Home customers fair game. It really should call it Win10 Guinea Pig edition.

My wife runs an HP DesignJet 500. It's an old printer but she tied to it because of software. Anyway -- -- it has a 16 Pin situation coming out of it. Is there a cord that converts it to, say, USB?
