    "Device Association Service" is making my device manager constantly refresh! - Need a fix!


    Hello, My name is Matthew! I have been having a rather common issue of a constant refresh on my device manager. I had to use trial and error to isolate the issue to a Microsoft service called "Device Association Service".I understand now that this is the service causing my device manager to constantly refresh however, I understand how important it is to have that service enabled. I come here to this forum to ask the Microsoft Team or anyone willing to help for a fix so, I can re-enable the service.

    :)

    Device Manager

    Hello Wayne,

    Need to follow up your question with another question, whenever the Device Manager list is refreshing, do you hear a disconnect/connect sound coming from your speakers?

    A faulty USB cable/device or a USB cable/device that is not plugged in firmly can cause the Device Manager screen to constantly refresh since Windows believes a USB device is constantly being connected and disconnected.

    device manager drivers/update/fix help

    I need help with my drivers as they aren't showing up right in Device manager. I have double or triple entries in some of the categories; I have provided a link or file so that you can see what mine looks like. If anyone could direct me in the right path that would be awesome! I think the reason for my mouse studders/issues and also performance issues in the many games that I play is the reason behind these Drivers. Below is a image that I captured with gyazo that lists my devices.

    https://gyazo.com/825cc09e1f38ba409bd23bd839c8aa08 <- (Device manager and problems w drivers)

    -BenQ XL2420Z 144hz
    -Logitech G403 Prodigy
    -Corsair Vengeance K95

    -When I fix the drivers that I need will the grayed out devices fix themselves/disappear in Device manager? Also, if/when I get my drivers all squared away and updated.. let's say I have some grayed out devices that are still in those sections.. is it OK to uninstall those or not?

    -I also don't have any idea what those Microsoft streaming devices in Sound are!??! Could it be something I need to turn off in BIOS or?

    -Lastly, what's the deal with the WAN Miniports?


    Thank-you!
