How to Open Device Manager
Inspect hardware devices and driver status in Windows.
Follow the steps in order and stop if the screen or target does not match what is described. Use administrator access only when the task requires it.
Open the power-user menu
Right-click Start or press Windows + X.
Select Device Manager
Approve administrator access if Windows requests it.
Inspect categories
Expand a hardware category. A warning symbol can indicate a driver or device problem.
Avoid guessing at driver changes
Open Properties and record the status and hardware ID before uninstalling or replacing a driver.
