What others things do you use your laptop for at an event besides playing music?

No. Again that laptop has not been online and I don't plan on putting it online.
The issue has nothing to do with the mic. It's the RF airwaves - you are literally "scanning" for a seat on a bus that is already full.
I don't trust anything to Microsoft (or Google, Apple, or HP.)
If the recent rant from an HP officer wasn't enough to reinforce the hostile nature of these companies - then I don't know that anything will wake people up.
Gone are the days we bought "products" based on merit. Today we subscribe to dictates and bloated encumbrance to continuous revenue streams. Service is not not relevant. Subscribers are all that matters. Sales is not the point. It's just about the numbers, much like the phone company - you pay for the line continuously - even when it's not functional. You pay not for results - you pay for it's mere existence whether it serves you well or not.
Upgrades are largely just theater at this point - the programs are not actually getting better - they are getting worse. Tech companies no longer embrace customer service AT ALL. You are a subscriber (not a customer.) The rules have changed and it is the Corporate revenue stream that dictates what you "need" and how much you need to pay to play.
They are also insidiously vicious (and often criminal yet quick to settle with a minimal pay to play DOJ when caught.) If you open the door they will corrupt and render inoperable older one time products you've previously purchased (all in the name of "security upgrades") in an attempt to force you into subscription services. Apple has been one of the most egregious offenders taking clandestine actions to disable older device features and functionality in ways for which you and I would be sent to prison. HP is following in their footsteps.
