From the windows-10 tag: For questions specific to Windows 10. Use [windows] instead for questions involving Windows in general. this is obviously not a problem specific to Windows 10. Nor is it specific to Windows 8 any more. The question obviously has an impact across versions and is a general windows driver problem. Windows XP, Vista and 7 can largely be discounted as they are all EoL and their relevance to the current product line should be waning. What is relevant now is that this isn't a problem with one version. Does it happen on Windows 10? Yes. Is it specific to it? No.

Why would we want 3 different tags telling us the exact same thing - that this is a problem with windows in general - when a single tag will do? It probably also affects the Server product line as well so windows-server-2012 and windows-server-2012-r2 so 5 tags. It is probably also relevant to windows-insider builds as well. Sometimes just saying "this is relevant to one single thing I found" isn't enough and it is obvious this affects a broad swathe of the product line. | |

| Jul 15, 2020 at 21:31 | comment | added | Ramhound | Just because most of the answers were about Windows 10 doesn’t mean the question author was using Windows 10. In fact, most of those answers, are not even applicable to the question for that reason. I am specifically talking about the answers that show Windows 10 settings instead of Windows 8. The author specifically used the Windows 8 tag, which means they were using Windows 8, or I suppose it could mean they did not know any better and used a random tag. | |

Its not helping Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, because precision touchpads weren't invented at that time. And since only 3 tags had been used, we don't need to save on them. We can thing about removing tags if the limit of 5 is reached. | |
