    Here are my Windows 10 issues; please post solutions, better solutions, or additional issues here.

    1) Unable to use Miracast. Will not connect to Roku3 or Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter
    Fix: Display driver 10.18.15.4278 or later

    2) Miracast will automatically switch audio output
    Fix: None

    3) Bluetooth will not automatically switch audio output
    Fix: None

    4) Wifi (Broadcom Dell 1560) will not connect or see networks after wake from sleep
    Fix: Resort to very old Broadcom Win10 built-in driver (6.30.223.259) TEMPORARY FIX, NEED A BETTER ONE

    5) Initial small-MOVEMENT trackpad delay (movement, not TAP), i.e., place finger on pad and begin to move slowly results in no cursor movement until 2-3 mm of finger movement is reached.
    Fix: None; same problem as with Win8.1

    Improvements:

    1) My battery life improved from 5-6 hours to 8-9 hours. Maybe I had something misconfigured in 8.1?
