The Continuing Hardware Mystery
Perhaps there is a sleuth within our community who can shed a light on a vey peculiar issue. Background:-I have a HP Touchsmart 300 (All-In-One} bought in 2009 - operating system Windows 7 Home Premium. Naturally I jumped at the opportunity to upgrade to the new Windows 10 in 2015. Yes I am aware that my HP 300 is 10 years old and that some of the issues may be put down to age, however It has been well maintained and is still in perfect physical condition so I am hesitant to say age has caused certain devices/hardware to stop functioning. In a nutshell after an Insider Preview update a device/hardware suddenly no longer works. The first to go was the microphone array and to date this no longer works and I had to install a external device. Other devices/hardware that suddenly stopped working which I thought was linked to the sound problem although the sound problem is now resolve. Sound issue resolved after further insider updates. At the moment I have to continually change the display drivers after each Insider update back to the original agreed Microsoft/AMD 2015 drivers which work perfectly with my display hardware. The new drivers they install each time they update OS results in a display out of focus, stretched and overall it looks very dull and wrong. The resolution is far lower than the capabilities of the display. Has anyone else encountered the above issues or perhaps have an explanation?
Echo
Amazon is telling me I don't have security or firewall protection in order to use/connect with my Echo. Everything was fine until I canceled Amazon Prime. Now Echo/Alexa tells me "Can't connect" I spoke with DELL, and they told me the security that was pre installed on my desktop was all the security I needed and didn't need to "PURCHASE" more which is what Amazon was telling me I had to do.. After I canceled Amazon Prime, I installed just Amazon because Echo told me I had to have an Amazon acc't to use Echo. but not Prime. So now I'm faced with not being able to use Echo/Alexa ( that's what Amazon is telling me anyway ) I'm not in a position right now financially to purchase another security because of Covid, and my Windows Security seems to be doing a good job ! Can anyone help ??? Thank you, Rick
I am new to this crazy gadget.

Access violation at address 0x9fced637
Hello guys I've been having this problem for a while now, whenever i start up dirt rally 2.0 it crashes with an error which sounds like this "Access violation at address 0x9fced637 in module 'dirtrally2.exe' + 0xcdd637. dirtrally2.exe". After a bit of googling i found that error is caused by directx probably. I have tried reinstalling the game, scanning my PC for corrupted files in cmd with sfc /scannow, I've tried disabling the other sound device (not the realtek one) yet nothing has worked. I'm getting desperate please help if you can
AutoSave is no longer an option
AutoSave is no longer an option for Word and Excel (I'm guessing the whole Office packet... that I already purchased, I might add) after this latest update unless I put it on the Cloud. If I wanted all my schooling documents and Spreadsheets on OneDrive, I would have put it there! I think it's pretty lousy and a touch of "big brothery" to require us to upload everything to the cloud to have access to features that we had been using all along. Was this just an oversight for this latest update, or is Microsoft getting kind of creepy on us? I'd like this back, please.

Device NOT offered May 2004 update, post "broad deployment"
As of 02/03/2021 - The "Dashboard" site "Windows 10, version 2004 and Windows Server, version 2004" states: "Windows 10, version 2004 is designated for broad deployment. The recommended servicing status is Semi-Annual Channel." I am a "seeker", every day morning & evening. My device uses "RealTek" audio drivers. NO (Conexant) drivers! No docking station. Installed latest drives offered by manufacturer ASUS for device X540UAR; Windows Update, and Microsoft Catalog. My OS version (1909) Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.1411]. "Broad deployment" is not happening for me! Perhaps additional AI "training" is necessary.
