  How to fix catastrophic mouse/touch device input lag on Windows 10?

  Did you start experiencing weird input lag on your Windows 10 PC starting some time early 2024? This lag would take 1-6 seconds, during which your mouse and/or touch devices (touch screen or touch pad) would be completely unresponsive. Keyboard would work, though. Good. That means I wasn't the only one. 😅 Don't get me wrong! I'm sorry you have issues with your computer.

  2023 Year Review

  I've made it a tradition to post something about the last year just after the New Year's, so here's another look back at the last 12 months.
