At this point, such shenanigans are to be expected when using Windows.

I guess my next machine will have a VGA port ;-)

And no Windows.

As long as you don't need some Windows-only software, Linux is a viable alternative now. KDE Plasma is a great desktop environment and even most games run flawlessly on Steam. And if you do need Windows occasionally, you can put it into a VM.

		Eh, kinda. I have new-ish MSI laptop with nvidia and it's still not good enough. I tried on the spare nvme and it just doesn't work well enough with these few games I want. Close but still not there. And Plasma has its own problems (I have it on my work laptop with Fedora).
