WiFi not working on Windows 10 laptop
Issue
WiFi does not work on Lenovo IdeaPad 330S Windows 10 laptop. Windows Settings has no WiFi options listed as if the PC didn't have a WiFi adapter. Device Manager, however, shows that the WiF adapter is installed and working correctly. Trying to add an external WiFi dongle does not help - drivers get automatically installed and it is then listed in the Device Manager with no issues. but Windows still does now show anything WiFi related.

Brother MFC-7360N not working over USB - This device cannot start
Issue
Brother MFC-7360N is not recognised when connected via USB. In Windows Device Manager it appears as a USB Compositive Device with an exclamation mark warning status:
USB Compositive Device
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.
After a bit of experimenting, it appeared that the printer worked fine on older laptops, but was not recognised by any of the more recent ones. They all were running up-to-date Windows 10, so the issue was most likely USB 3.0 incompatibility.
