Windows 10: Microsoft Store can't detect hardware, and Windows update issues

Microsoft store wont detect my hardware which stops me from downloading apps. I've tried everything, I've terminated and reset is with apps & features. I've ran wsreset as administratorIt doesn't work, I ran it for about 20 minutes and nothing happened. I've ran the troubleshooter and it said it couldn't find a problem, I've ran "Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted" and "Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$$_.InstallLocation\AppXManifest.xml"}" with powershell as administrator and restarted, nothing works. I think its due to my version of windows, whenever I run check for updates, it takes a while and says "There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: 0x80080005". My current version and build is "Version 20H2 OS Build 19042.844 I have Windows Home. I also ran the update troubleshooter and it said there was no issues. My device is relatively new, average specs and enough storage on C: drive. I've factory reset it once. I have no idea what the issue is.

Microsoft signals end of Paint program

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.

windows 7 can't see my microsoft sidewinder gamepad

I'm trying to install a gamepad from the year 2000
I tried adding a device automatically using "add device" under "hardware and sound" it never ended looking for devices and nothing showed so I cancel it, then I tried adding a legacy hardware under action menu on device manager but my device wasn't listed.

as a last try I used the game port to usb adapter but it detected it as unknown device and searched for microsoft drivers but there were no sidewinders listed.

this use to work under xp but is not listed or detected on win7 I need the driver for it it's a microsoft gamepad that uses the gameport to connect to the pc. Is there a wey to take the driver from the windows xp disc?
