Do not remove drivers for resources found on your motherboard. Logitech's drivers and supporting software are only for your headset. The RealTek drivers and Dell software is for the audio hardware found on your motherboard (whether you are speaking about a laptop or desktop). Even if you...

Have a look at the following link: https://www.howtogeek.com/197836/8-ways-to-customize-the-windows-10-start-menu/ Pay particular attention to the Organize, Edit, Delete, or Add New Items to the Apps List section. You can create your own folders (meaningful to you) and then drop the folders...

In Playback devices look for the display device you have your HDMI cable connected to. For instance my monitor is connected via HDMI, so I see S27C750 NVIDIA High Definition Monitor. If I wanted to play sound from here, I'd make it the default playback device.

Actually the 2.1 sound bar used with TV's might be ideal. If you put the mounting screws up on the wall or something, you could put the speakers up and then removed them at will. I have a set that works with Bluetooth as well as other audio / video connections. Here is a link of what I'm...

Wouldn't you just love some one to infect dirty cheat software with a script once installed it set the system for reboot. On reboot the system the script would execute and delete the OS partition and format it. Actually that outcome is still too good for cheaters.
