Device Manager
Device Manager is the Windows tool for inspecting detected hardware, device status and driver information.
Device Manager instructions, reference material, and troubleshooting.
What should I record for a device error?
Record the device name, status message or error code and driver details. Check whether the problem began after a hardware or software change. Match the guide to the affected device instead of updating every driver at once.
Should I disable or uninstall the device?
Inspect it first. Disabling a network, display or input device can cut off remote support or leave the user without a working control. Obtain the correct recovery steps and an approved replacement driver before making a change that could remove access.
