-* The trackpad has an issue in Windows 10 - cursor movement is glitchy at times, seeming to coincide with higher CPU usage. The experience is smooth when the computer state is near idle. This is occurring with the latest drivers. '''Update:''' A workaround is to disable the TrackPoint (red dot). This completely fixes the trackpad lag.

 * Windows 10 no longer seems to support VLANs on NICs.
 :*'''Update:''' Actually yes they reintroduced support in the Anniversary update, I just have to find out how it works, as support is apparently built-in now (I was previously using Intel Advanced Network Services).
 :*'''Update:''' This was all just a matter of bad timing. Intel has to play catch-up with each major feature release (e.g. 1803, 1809 etc.). They had just released driver version 23.4, which supports VLANs in 1803, then 1809 came out.
 :*'''Update:''' Solved. Intel ANS (VLAN, Teaming) works on 1809 with driver version 23.5. Configuration is limited to PowerShell currently, but the driver set now matches how it functioned on Windows 7.
-* Windows Hello is disabled by default, due to "some settings are managed by your organization". This is probably because it's joined to a domain that hasn't yet been configured with a default policy for Windows 10. '''Update:''' Enabled through a regedit.
+* Windows Hello is disabled by default, due to "some settings are managed by your organization". This is probably because it's joined to a domain that hasn't yet been configured with a default policy for Windows 10.
 * Currently unable to connect to IFS shares (SMB / Windows sharing) on bart. This might be because of an older protocol used on bart (whether it's to do with SMB itself or NTLM authentication), which may no longer be supported on Windows 10, or turned off by default.

 * Norwin has switched to the T460s from the T540p. Rather than upgrade the RAM and SSD on the T540p, components were purchased for the T460s instead.
