Windows has determined ......
Windows has determined that the best driver for this device is already
installed. There may be better ones on Windows Update or manufacturer's site https://goo.gl/h3dYKk What kind of gobbledegook is this? Are we being put to the test about comparative and superlative adjectives? Or does Windows belong to Good Guy's long list of mentally challenged things? Ed

Ed Windows could not find latest drivers for my 2004 Brother QL-500 ticket printer, saying the best one was installed already. However a visit to the Brother web page found a 2010 driver.

If the dialog said "the latest driver" was installed, that wouldn't be quite as specious a claim as "the best". The dialog box should defer to the manufacturer, as being the source of the driver. The manufacturer will be fixing it, if it's broken. A dialog box should not lie to a customer. Microsoft has no way of knowing it's the best driver. Making a statement that "it's the latest in the drivers that we have", would not be far from the truth, as the drivers could well be selected by date and not by any other criterion. Microsoft isn't even using the Insider releases to test the drivers. And the drivers are "tested" on the day of release of the RTM version. That's how I ended up with an Asus driver that doesn't belong on the computer (it's a driver that is only to be installed if Asus Probe is installed). That driver has never shown up on the Insider edition, and showed up on 1803, out of the blue. Paul
