Windows computers come with the flexibility of upgrading or downgrading various components, such as the CPU, RAM, SSD, and more. For all these hardware components to communicate with the software, you need to install drivers, which are the software components. If any component is missing or Windows is not detecting it, you can scan for hardware changes using the Device Manager which will help troubleshoot and make the device respond and work again. To learn how to do this, keep reading to find out!
How do I use the Device Manager to scan for hardware changes?
1. Scan for hardware changes
2. Update the drivers manually
3. Automatically update the drivers
4. How can you install missing devices in the Device Manager?
A scan for hardware changes helps broken devices work again. If you don’t want your devices to get corrupted or outdated, it is recommended that you always update the device drivers with the latest drivers available by the manufacturer. Although Windows updates the drivers with every update, they are often not the latest. You can update your device’s drivers both manually and automatically, or you could also use a third-party application that will update the drivers as soon as they are available.
