The Device Manager is a specialized tool that can be found in the Windows Control Panel which allows users to view and access hardware, drivers, and software related information on their computer system.
To find the Device Manager in the Control Panel, start by clicking the Start button in the bottom left corner of your screen. From there, select Control Panel from the pop-up menu that appears.
Once you’re in the Control Panel, look for the heading titled System and Security. Underneath this heading, select the option labeled Device Manager. This will open the Device Manager window, where you can access the internal structure of the devices connected to your computer.
In the Device Manager window, you will see a list of all installed hardware on your computer as well as any errors that may be associated with them. The list of hardware includes items such as network adapters, sound cards, video cards, USB devices, and more.
For each piece of hardware, you can view its properties and enable or disable it if needed. You can also view details about the device’s driver, including the date it was last updated and the version used. Additionally, you can access the list of system software associated with each device and update or uninstall them if necessary.
The Device Manager is a great tool for troubleshooting common Windows problems and making sure your system is running optimally. It also provides valuable information about your computer’s hardware and software, allowing you to make informed decisions about how to maintain your system.
