latest Windows build

[Lubomir I. Ivanov]

the map works for me for me using the -339 installer.
had to temp disable my local Qt setup to make sure that DLLs are
picked from the installer properly.

i never tested < 10. the Windows drivers are super flaky and it
requires the latest Windows 10 update.
also it required the latest drivers for my MB chip vendor.

i can download from both OSTC+ and Perdix AI, but they do still need
the regular un-pair / pair pattern.
discussions about Windows 10 are pointing out that this will be
further improved in future updates.
