I still regret that when Fall Creators Update came out, that I assumed that my active stylus (Staedtler Noris Digital, purchased as a bundle w/ my Samsung Galaxy Book 12) being used for scrolling and becoming unable to select text was a bug, so I simply rolled back, assuming it would be eventually be fixed.

If I'd realized that that was a feature which would be pervasive for all future versions of Windows, I would have returned the machine.

I've rolled back to 1703 twice now, and am managing to stay there by the expedient of keeping my hard drive too full for Microsoft to download any further updates.

I despair of replacing this device --- it wasn't quite the replacement I wanted for my Fujitsu Stylistic ST-4110 --- no daylight-viewable transflective display.

Why is it so hard to purchase a device which has:

- a good quality stylus (Wacom EMR) - a high-resolution display (the 2160x1440 on a 12.something inch display is fine, though I'd love more) - decent battery life - reasonable size/thinness - reasonable price - access to the file system and the ability to install arbitrary software, esp. opensource stuff

I'd also like a daylight viewable display, but that's probably not happening.
