Agreed. To be fair it has become far less common over the years for me to hear of or run into such things in terms of hardware - but it does happen. And it happens in other areas, too. With the recent video I posted showing the need for multiple clicks to get the Task View to activate in Windows 10 Tablet Mode. Is this the fault of Parallels or Microsoft? Well, it happens consistently with the combination: the Parallels support team was able to replicate it on multiple machines. But it also has been shown that the same or at least similar bug has been reported outside of Parallels. Seems a conflict with some drivers and Windows 10. Are the drivers not following something they should? Is Windows 10 defective in some ways that shows up only under very specific circumstances?
