I have a MS comfort keyboard 5050 (5/22) and Norton is telling me the wireless keyboard filter device needs to be updated and is vulnerable, but I can't find a driver.

Oddly, it is telling me the driver is manufactured by Surface.Thanks, Julian Continue reading...

Hello I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer for so I thought this would be the best place to ask. I always get the answer I'm looking for when I ask here. I'm not really sure what I'm going to ask falls under what category so I will pick display and graphics as what I'm going to ask has to do with graphics cards. I have a pre-built MSI Aegis R 13NUD-461US gaming desktop computer that i got from Costco for a great price it was on sale for $400 off the original price and I only paid $1,400 which was a steal. It has a Geforce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB graphics card a Intel 13th gen i7-1370 Continue reading...

Hi,I have never used this to ask a question, but I am really frustrated about something because I dont know what the problem is. Since a week, my PC has started stuttering when I move my mouse while playing games and I cant seem to find a fix. I uploaded a video to youtube so people can see what's going on. Is there anyone that can help me? I have already tried a new mouse, cabled mouse, new mousepad etc. So I think its the PC itself. I have recently gotten a second screen too, could that be the problem? When I remove the second screen the problem is still there, so I dont think it is..https:/ Continue reading...

When I boot up my PC and linger on the lock screen for a minute or two, I get a blue screen with the stop code DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. I let the computer "collect information," and once it reaches 100%, I restart the PC. After the restart, I typically don't encounter the issue for a few hours. However, if I'm using any application, launching a game, or browsing the web, I randomly experience the same stop code, DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. I've already checking for any outdated drivers and used the "fixed problems using a windows update" under system and recovery in settings, and I've already run w Continue reading...
